For my first recipe post I wanted something simple. Although I have a big list of recipes to be tried, the apple raisin muffin aired in Food TV was the one that kept coming to my mind. I saw it a couple of months earlier in Paula Deen's show.
So this morning I went to Food TV's site and got the recipe. The original recipe yields 5 dozen mini muffins. I did not want to bake so much because it was the first time I was gonna try it. So I scaled down the recipe and it did come out well.

Recipe
Eggless Apple Raisin Muffins
Ingredients
Ingredients-A:
- ¼ Cup Water
- ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ Cup Raisins
- 1 Cup Apples Grated
- ¼ Cup Butter
- A Pinch Cinnamon
- A Pinch Nutmeg
Ingredients-B:
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tspn Baking Soda
- ¾ Cup Walnuts Chopped
Instructions
- Combine all 'Ingredients-A' in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Combine all 'Ingredients-B' in a large bowl. Add the cooled mixture to it and stir until blended.
- Fill them in lined mini muffin tins and bake for 15 minutes at 350F.
My Notes
- The above measurements yielded exactly 2 dozen mini muffins.
- The original recipe called for granulated sugar only, but I added a mixture of both light brown sugar and white sugar because I personally feel that the combination of these 2 results in a better taste.
- I did not add clove powder because I did not have it.
- After combining the wet ingredients with the dry, I felt that it required some more liquid, so I added some milk.
- I also topped the muffins with turbinado sugar before putting them in the oven.
- I baked a dozen first for 15 min and tested with a tooth pick to check if it was done. The tooth pick did not come out clean from some of the muffins so I baked it for another 2 minutes. By the time the first batch came out the remaining batter became a little more firm, so I added some more milk and baked the second dozen for 17 min and the tooth pick came out clean.
- Update: Originally I used ¾th cup of sugar both brown sugar and white sugar combined. But some of my friends told me that it was very sweet. I think I would reduce the quantity of sugar to ½ cup instead of ¾th of a cup the next time I bake it. So I have changed the recipe to ¼ cup of each sugar.

I made these today, but the batter seemed a little dry (I may have let it cool too much) so I added about 1/2 cup of orange juice (egg and dairy allergy) and made 12 regular sized muffins instead of 24 mini muffins. The result was a wonderful tasty treat!! Thank you so much for the eggless receipes 🙂
You're welcome Debi.

Hi,
I tried this recipe. The taste is good but i didn't get the cake much fluffy. Can you please let me know what might be fault.
Thanks
Hi Nita, thanks for trying the recipe. If I remember right these muffins were not fluffy, they were dense only.

Hi Madhuram
I have been baking eggless cakes and searching for good eggless cakes/brownie recipes for a while .I stumbled across ur blog recently and absolutely love ur recipes .I tried ur
apple raisin muffin. The muffins turned out pretty good and the kids loved it.I used half cup sugar and golden raisins. It was mildly sweet. I think if I had used local raisins like Sun-Maid it might have been sweeter. Waiting to try out ur brownie recipes this weekend.

Jayshree, thank you very much for trying the recipe and for the feedback.strong>

Thanks Madhuram for the reply. Oh yup..cinnamon could have been a pinch more when I dusted the left over powder. I didnt suspect that it could be the possible reason! Thanks for letting me know.
jayaguru says
Hi Madhuram,
It is a awesome receipe and easy to bake one too. I tried it and came out very well.. But, I do have a question though. First time it came out well.. but the next time by mistake I added 1/2 a cup butter.. though the muffins came out well.. it did leave a bitter taste at the end. What could be the possible reason? Is extra butter the culprit?
Hi Jaya, I don't think it has anything to do with butter. Did you add extra cinnamon or nutmeg by mistake? Otherwise I don't see any reason why it would turn bitter!
Twinkle says
The muffins turned out to be awesome, only thing - it took about 35 mins at 350F in my oven. Never an issue, great recipe !!! was wondering to substitute all-purpose flour with wheat flour...any suggestions,Just tryin to make it healthier 🙂
Thanks for trying and for the feedback Twinkle. Yes oven temperatures vary and it's best to check for doneness with a toothpick, keeping the time mentioned in the recipe as an estimate. These days I'm using whole wheat pastry flour to substitute all purpose flour and the baked goods turn out good. If you are not able to find it gradually increase the quantity of whole wheat flour, because our taste buds has to get used to that texture and flavor. Start replacing 1/3rd cup of all purpose flour with whole wheat flour and slowly increase the quantity.
