Ginger Raisin Muffins

In my experience, children really love the art of baking - the measuring and mixing makes for fun, busy work and teaches them some great math skills at the same time. These muffins come together really quickly and are a healthy and delicious snack that the kids can feel proud they made and you can feel good about them eating. For an extra special treat, serve with sweet butter and our Three Fruit Marmalade.

Makes 1 dozen

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp. salt

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ cup molasses

  • 1 cup whole wheat Flour

  • 1 cup organic white flour

  • 1 cup raisins

  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp. ginger, ground

  • 1/4 cup candied ginger, chopped

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Mix milk & molasses together. In a stand mixer or with an electric whisk, cream butter, sugar, and salt together. Add the milk & molasses - mix to combine. Mix in whole wheat flour.

Sift together white flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir the raisins & candied ginger into the dry ingredients. Pour in liquid ingredients and stir until just combined. DO NOT OVER STIR.

Fill muffin tins 2/3 of the way full and bake for 20 minutes. Served warm they are extra yummy.
