Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Muffins

Oh yum. Certainly not whole anything compliant but oh yum.

Joyce Ellwanger's Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Muffins

This one came from Penzeys Spice company - my favorite and only source for spices and seasonings.  It started as a mail order company out of Wisconsin - I'm so fortunate that one of its retail stores is actually within about 15 miles of my house.  Yay me!!  Truthfully though, with free shipping on orders over $30, costs me less in gas and tolls to just order it and wait a few days than go to the store, towing 3 kids behind me surrounded by glass jars of spices.



Kudos to Joyce Ellwanger who provided this recipe - my kids and husband also thoroughly approve :o)



Ingredients
   1 Cup flour
   1⁄4 Cup sugar

   1 Cup milk
   1 Cup oats
   1/2 Cup raisins
