As soon as the first hints of fall arrived, my family would always bake these muffins and quickly devour them with a cup of tea. They are so flavorful and moist although not loaded with oil or sugar. You can also add a streusel topping for special occasions.
Ingredients
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 can of pumpkin
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat germ or oat bran
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup raisins
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease or line muffin tins.
Place the first four ingredients in a bowl and combine with a wire whisk. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the raisins) and blend well. Gently fold in the raisins.
Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes. Remove muffins and allow to cool on wire rack.
