Notes

  • Raisins: Golden or regular. Can also use part raisins, part dried cranberries. 
  • Oils: Oils like canola or melted coconut work well in this recipe. 
  • Buttermilk: Regular or low-fat ok. 
  • Flours: Be sure to measure the flours properly to avoid adding extra flour. Aerate or sift the flours, spoon, and then level. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
