BUTTER TART MUFFINS [59] image

Yield 12 Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups raisins
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup real maple syrup

Steps:

  • Place raisins, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture is hot, slightly thickened, and just beginning to bubble, about 4 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly, uncovered, in the refrigerator, while continuing with recipe. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or coat with cooking spray. Stir flour with baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in center and pour in warm raisin mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in nuts until evenly mixed. Spoon batter into muffin cups. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in center of oven until golden and a cake tester inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately pour about 1 teaspoon syrup over each muffin. Cool muffins in cups for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack. Serve warm.
