- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda

Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare muffin pans by greasing them or lining with paper liners.

Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the salt, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Blend the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Fold in Raisins: Gently stir in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Fill Muffin Pans: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
-
Sprinkle with Brown Sugar: For an extra touch of sweetness and a delightful crunch, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with brown sugar before baking.
-
Bake: Place the muffin pans in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delicious homemade goodness of these Applesauce Raisin Muffins!
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They also freeze well; simply wrap individually and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just thaw at room temperature or reheat gently in the microwave for a quick and tasty treat anytime!
