  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
Add-ins
  • 1 cup mixed dried fruits such as raisins, currants, and candied orange peel
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
  3. In another large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the dried fruits and nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  3. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to two months, wrapped well.
