Rum Raisin Muffins
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
YIELD: 1 dozen.
Both men and women enjoy these rum-flavored, raisin-filled goodies. I think they're best served warm with mugs of hot coffee or cappuccino.
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup butter, softened
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
1 teaspoon rum extract
-
1-1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/3 cup 2% milk
-
1 cup raisins
-
1/2 cup chopped pecans
-
1/4 cup maple syrup
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extract. Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating just until combined. Toss raisins with remaining flour. Fold raisins and pecans into batter.

2.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Immediately brush muffins with syrup. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.
