directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F
  • Grease and flour a muffin pan (or use muffin papers, preferably foil). Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, sugar, and butter.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just mixed. Gently fold in the raisins.
  • Scoop about 1/2 cup batter into each muffin tin so that the curve of the batter is even with the rim of the cup.
  • Bake the muffins in the middle of the oven 30-35 minutes. Muffins should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean.
  • Remove the muffins once pan has cooled.

  1. The batter was incredibly stiff with only 1 cup of yogurt, so I added a 2nd cup of yogurt AND some milk (maybe 1/2 c). And this yielded way more than 20 muffins--I filled three standard muffin trays, for 36 muffins, and still had batter left over. It's possible I mis-measured on the flour, but when I consider that most 1-dozen muffin muffin recipes call for 1.5-2 cups flour at most, I don't think it was just my mistake.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Anaheim Hills, CA - grew up in the next town over and have never lived anywhere else. I mostly work out of my home. My husband and I have an electrical sign business and I do the office work along with being crane operator about once or twice a week. I also drive one of the big trucks as needed. Prior to working with my husband (for the past 10 years, I was an executive secretary for 20 years so this has been a big change from corporate offices to construction fields, I love it. For fun, we go to Vegas about once a month and I also enjoy gambling at the local Indian casinos although my husband does not. I'm not a great cook but I do enjoy being creative in the kitchen...good thing my husband will try anything I make. I rarely follow a recipe exactly usually combining two or more recipes and trying to create my own. Rarely does it come out better than the original authors but I have fun. I enjoy collecting cookbooks and reading recipes. I have won two cookoffs, one for chili and one for smoked ribs. My husband is my taste tester telling me what it needs more of as I cook - thats how we won the chili cookoff. I credit him with that one! I don't have any children, have been married 30 years this year. I love animals and my beloved sheltie mix dog died at age 14 back in 2000 and I just haven't found another dog yet. My family and friends have me babysit their dogs which I really enjoy. My passions are probably the Anaheim Angels baseball and I like the Chargers football. Don't really care for basketball but do enjoy a good hockey game. We enjoy riding (on the back only, thank you our Harley that my husband has had since he bought it brand new back in 1977. I'll have to think about what my pet peeves are, I'll come back to you on that one. UPDATE: Ok, I've decided my pet peeve is having a recipe reviewed when the person didn't even make it as written, changes the ingredients and then gives it a poor review. Thats just not right. <br /><br /><img alt= src=/&lt;a href= /> <br />http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg&gt; <br />src=<a href=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>&gt;http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg&gt;</a></p>
