Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In the bowl with the soaked oats, add melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to evenly distribute them in the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
