Preheat oven to 400⁰F and grease a muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients for the muffin batter.
Then add in all the dry ingredients (except raw sugar) and mix until combined. You may need to switch to a spatula.
Divide muffin batter evenly between 10 cups and top each with a sprinkle of raw sugar, if desired.
Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing muffins from the pan onto a cooling rack.
