Muffins are terrifically easy to make and nothing is better than warm muffins fresh from the AirFryer on rainy afternoon, just perfect for tea time!

As you may know (or may not know..LOL), muffins are good served warm, cooled or reheated so this recipe is not just for rainy day! Hehe!

I'm not going to write a long story simply because it is a rainy day here and all I wanted to do now is to crawl under a blanket and take a short nap before my darling son wakes up!

AirBaked Raisin Oatmeal Muffins

100gm All-purpose Flour
100gm Icing Sugar (I used 80gm organic brown sugar - blitzed into powder form)
100gm Butter
50gm Organic Rolled Oat
50gm Organic Raisins
100gm Eggs (I used 2 eggs - lightly beaten)
1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence
1/8 tsp Baking Powder

Directions:

• In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until soft

  

  Here is my homemade organic brown icing sugar (blitzed using a food processor)

• Add vanilla essence and beaten eggs little by little into the butter mixture
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, raisins and baking powder then mix it well
  
• Using the "cut and fold" method to mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture
• Line the muffin tray with muffin liners then pour the mixture about 3/4 full into the muffin liners, then set aside
  
• Preheat the AirFryer at 180°C
• Place the muffin tray into the frying basket and AirBake for 10 minutes at 180°C
  
  
  

  

  I have removed the frying basket so that the muffin tray can fit perfectly in pull-out tray
