For an extra layer of flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the cream cheese filling. Plumping the raisins in warm water or orange juice for 10 minutes will make them extra juicy. Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure tender muffins. Mix until just combined. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
