Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup raisins

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 0.5 tsp salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix the 0.5 cup honey, 0.5 cup milk, and 0.25 cup oil until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.

  5. 5

    Fold in the 0.5 cup raisins.

  6. 6

    Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes.

  7. 7

    Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
