YUMMY AND EASY RAISIN MUFFINS
Moist and super yummy Raisin Muffins. I made them from a basic muffin recipe then adding some ingredients of my own and tweaking the cooking time. Very easy to make! Chop the raisins finely--don't mash them! The banana makes the already moist muffins, well, more moist with just a hint of banana flavor. Not to mention that it gives a good look on the muffin top crust. It's important that you use an overripe banana. Enjoy!

Tips:

- If you don't have raisins, you can substitute them with other dried fruits like cranberries, cherries, or apricots.
- To make the muffins extra gooey, add an extra egg yolk to the batter.
- For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle some granulated sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
