Great muffins! I made a few minor changes. My yogurt is homemade and very thick Greek yogurt. So I added 1/8 c. applesauce. I also added 1/4 c. more raisins and 1/2 t. vanilla. Then I lightly brushed the tops of the muffins with egg whites and sprinkled coarse sugar on top before baking. I cut the temp down to 375 to keep sugar from burning too.
