Rum Raisin-Pineapple Muffins Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Coppermouse

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup raisins
3 tablespoons dark rum or bourbon
1/2 cup hot water
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pineapple chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin. Soak the raisins in 1/2 cup hot water and 3 tablespoons rum until plumped. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and egg. Whisk in the orange juice, melted butter, and vanilla. Form a well in the dry ingredients and gradually stir in the wet mixture. Fold in the chopped pineapple and the drained raisins. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin and bake about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and turn the muffins out of the tin. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best-tasting muffins. Use real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will help the muffins rise evenly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking rum raisin muffins is 375°F (190°C). This will help the muffins rise and brown evenly.
  • Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking the muffins will result in dry, crumbly muffins. Bake the muffins just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: Allow the muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help them set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Rum raisin muffins are a classic breakfast or snack treat that are easy to make and always a hit. With their moist, tender crumb and sweet, boozy flavor, these muffins are sure to please everyone. Whether you enjoy them plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or butter, rum raisin muffins are a delicious and satisfying treat that everyone will love.
