I added 1 tsp cinnamon as recommended by others. Since there are lots of raisins and banana, I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup brown sugar, and they were still very sweet. I might try even less sugar next time. -
I baked these for 22mins. after adding 1tsp. cinnamon and 1tsp. vanilla. Use paper baking cups. The tops were sticky after cooling in pans for 10 mins. to hold their shape. They taste like oatmeal cookies, really really great ! ! -
We've had these a few times for breakfast and they are good. Time from mixing to oven is minimal and they freeze well for later in the week. Thank you! -
Substituted blueberries for the raisins .. YUM!!! -
These turned out great!! I used margarine instead of butter and it worked out fine. I didn't have enough raisins so I halfed the batter and put raisins in one half and walnuts in the other. They are both awesome in their own way. I will definitely make these again!

This is an excellent muffin. I substituted honey for the sugar. Of course it doesn't raise as nicely with honey. I will definitely make this again

<p>I love to bake, I love to cook and I have a nasty cookbook/recipe fetish (looking at my mom's and grandma's collections Its genetic I think!!). I also collect Pillsbury Dough Boy things. I am very anal and competetive when it comes to my food...I like to entertain but find I over do it.<br /><br />I am married to my best friend, we have two kids and have been married?10 1/2 years. We are not fussy eaters except the hubby hates beets. I can live with that one thing. <br /><br />I grew up on a mixed ranch just east of the Sask/AB border south of Lloydminster. I grew up around horses and cattle. I love going home back to the animals and the farm. I spent a lot of my childhood with my grandma. She was a wonderful baker who went through the depression, I learned so much from her from her experiences. I love making her "heritage" recipes, brings my childhood back for my children and my brothers who enjoyed the treats. Her Blueberry muffin recipe is one of my absolute favorite. When I was still at home I was put in charge of meals at harvest time from the time I was old enough to use the stove. I loved coming home from school to make a big meal to haul out the field. All my friends when home to sit in front of the tv and I stood at the stove. <br /><br />I grew up in the local 4-H club, spent 10 years as a member. I am still a huge supporter of our club and very proud of its history. My mom and I organized a 50th Anniversay cookbook in 1997. It is probably my most used paper cookbook...zaar being my most used online of course. <br /><br />I love to can. I started with Aunt Lori's salsa a few years ago. I have expanded to jams, jellies, pickles,..whatever catches my eye at the time. I am a berry picker and love that fresh fruit to make the homemade jams and jellies. Being raised in Sask we have the opportunity to pick a variety of wild berries...Saskatoons, pincherries, chokecherries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, thorn apples, gooseberries,currents...we have picked them all. <br /><br />I will rarely post anything less than a 4 star review and most of the time just won't post a review until I have tried the recipe a second time. It could be my error. I don't count the dayhome kids opinion in my ratings because they like something one day and hate it the next <br /><br /><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg" alt="" /></p>
