Honey Pumpkin Wheat Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Honey Pumpkin Wheat Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take a moment to prepare your muffin pan—either grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with cheerful paper liners to make cleanup a breeze.

3. Step 3

   Next, grab a small bowl and soak some raisins in hot water for a few minutes.

4. Step 4

   This little trick will plump them up beautifully, adding a delightful burst of sweetness to your muffins.

5. Step 5

   Once they’re nice and soft, drain the raisins and set them aside.

6. Step 6

   In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

7. Step 7

   Give it a good mix to ensure all those flavors are well blended.

8. Step 8

   Now, create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and gently add in the eggs, pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, and honey.

9. Step 9

   Stir everything together just until combined—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine; we don’t want to overmix! Next, fold in those plump raisins and some chopped walnuts for a delightful crunch.

10. Step 10

    Now it’s time to fill your muffin cups! Spoon the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow for some lovely rising.

11. Step 11

    Pop the muffin pan into your preheated oven and bake for around 18 minutes.

12. Step 12

    You’ll know they’re ready when the tops spring back lightly when touched.

13. Step 13

    Once baked to perfection, let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

14. Step 14

    Enjoy the warm, inviting aroma as they cool, and get ready to savor every delicious bite!.
