1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
3 tbsp. peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. raisins (opt.)

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients.

Stir only until lumps disappear. Do not overmix muffin batter. Stir in raisins.

Note: Flour absorbs different amounts of moisture due to humidity in the environment and other factors. As in any making any batter for baking, if the batter seems too thick, add a little extra liquid. If the batter is too thin, add a little extra flour.

Bake at 375°F until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (15 to 20 minutes). Cool on wire racks.

Serve while still warm.
