How to Make Banana Raisin Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup milk, 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup raisins.
  5. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
