-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
-
Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Bake the muffin buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the muffin buns are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
-
Remove the muffin buns from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffin buns and allow it to set for a few minutes before serving.
