  3. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in raisins or dried cranberries if using.
  6. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle additional seeds on top before baking.
  • You can substitute almond milk with a splash of lemon juice for a dairy-free buttermilk alternative.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
