  1. I doubled this recipe and made a few little changes. I used whole wheat pastry flour, and then increased the baking powder by just a dash. I used butter, as I do not use shortening or margarine for anything in order to avoid hydrogenated oil. I also used dark brown sugar to give a slighly richer flavor. Finally, I did not use a blender, and mixed everything in a bowl instead. This recipe is definitely a keeper. My family liked these and so did a group of ladies I had over.
     
  2. This recipe made 10 muffins for me. These taste like fall and are super amazing when warm. I did add a few tablespoons of butter to the recipe for some added richness. I did not use a blender, but mixed by hand. Your raisins will not sink to the bottom if you coat them in flour, shake off the excess in a colander or sieve, and then add them into the final batter.
     
  3. Woah! These guys rose sky-high! I used canola oil instead of the melted shortening and skipped mixing this in a blender and just mixed everything together by hand. Overall these turned out well. I gound them a tad dry and I thought they had a bit of a baking powdery flavor. The raisins settled at the bottoms, which wasn't really problematic, but I just thought I'd mention it. I was kind of surprised that, although these smelled wonderfully cinnamony when they came out of the oven, but after they cooled, it wasn't very strong. Quite subtle in fact. I got 7 muffins, but I see how you could get 8. Pretty good, though! Thanks Ocean~Ivy!!

Hey there!~ My name is Crystal. I am 19,and living in Florida. I really love to cook,& bake all the time for my family.I just get so much enjoyment out of it! There is just something about the great aroma throughout the house when you bake something,creating special memories in the kitchen! A little more about me: I am a strict vegetarian,(almost vegan!,heh)but of course my whole family is not,so I cook just about anything! Other than cooking-I like to read,surf the net and create art. My favorite websites are: www.ebay.com & www.witchvox.com (I'm wiccan) Of course,the Zaar has become my favorite website! I love how friendly the people are and how interactive this place is!
