Golden Spicey Pumpkin Raisin Muffins
I’ve tried a lot of pumpkin muffins and this is one of my favorites. Raisins are a must in my muffins, but what sells this recipe to me is the great, spicey flavor combination. Cinnamon and ginger are a match made in muffin Heaven!

These muffins not only taste great with pumpkin puree but with apple or pear puree too. If you have extra batter it may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
