Pumpkin Muffins

This is my grandmother's recipe and one of my favorite things about this time of year.  They're best eaten fresh out of the oven (or warm) with a little bit of butter.

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 can solid-pack pumpkin
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
3 cups raisins
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups chopped black walnuts

Rinse and drain the raisins into a small bowl, adding the walnuts and a handful of flour. Toss to coat.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the pumpkin, oil and sugar until well blended.  In another bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder. Add the flour mixture and the raisin mixture to the egg mixture until combined. DO NOT OVER-MIX!

Spray muffin pans and fill each cup 3/4 full. (Don't use paper liners as they will stick to these particular muffins and you'll end up with a lot of wasted yumminess!) Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
