Instructions

  • This recipe will make approximately 12 muffins.
  • You can also use a mini muffin tray to help the recipe go further, just make sure you adjust your cooking time accordingly.
  • You can also choose to use either bottled or fresh orange juice when making these muffins, I often go between the two depending on what we have in the fridge and pantry!
  • Sultanas or other types of dried fruit can also be used for this recipe.
  • These Raisin Muffins are best stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place and enjoyed within five days.
  • You can also freeze these muffins.
