Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream or 1 cup plain yogurt
• 3 cups pumpkin puree (canned is fine)
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 lb unsalted butter, melted

• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 2 in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, sugar, and butter.
• 3 in another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper.
• 4 slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until just mixed. gently fold in the raisins.
• 5 grease and flour a muffin tin (or line it with muffin papers, preferably foil). scoop about 1/2 cup batter into each tin so that the curve of the batter is even with the rim of the cup. (refrigerate any extra batter in an airtight container for up to a week.)
