Time 37m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons rum
3/4 cup dark raisin
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup shortening, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup green apple, cored, peeled and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Soak the raisins for 15 minutes in the rum before mixing into batter. This will plump, refresh and add extra flavor to your raisins. Set aside.
  • To a small mixing bowl add the beaten egg, buttermilk, brown sugar and melted shortening; stir well to combine.
  • To a larger mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; pour in the buttermilk mixture. Give a good stir. Add the raisins and apple to the batter and continue to stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (DO NOT OVER BEAT - IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT 20 or 30 STROKES BY HAND.)
  • Spoon the batter into 12 paper-lined muffin cups; fill 2/3 of the way.
  • Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges.
