Oatmeal Raisin Muffins 
My picky eating daughter asked if we could bake muffins together. We just happen to have the ingredients for these tasty little bites. They've made great snacks for us and they keep getting better with each day. My daughter has eaten more than any of us. I don't mind, they're healthy eats.
HERE'S ALL YOU NEED
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup applesauce or oil
- 3/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup healthy egg substitute or 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven 400F degrees. Spray mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Stir together the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. In a separate medium bowl, stir together the remaining dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Use a small scooper (holds 1 tablespoonful) to measure out dough into mini muffin pan.
BAKE 8-10 minutes. Immediately remove from pan to cooling rack. After they've cooled completely, store in a one gallon freezer bag. I highly recommend baking them a day ahead.
I am making these tomorrow. They look delicious!
It took us a couple of days to polish them off and now I’m missing them.
Because they kept reminding me of carrot cake, I want to make the next batch with a little finely shredded carrot.
Hey Jill,
these look so good, and moist yet healthy! they would be perfect for the WBB-Balanced Breakfasts event I’m hosting on my blog!! check the event details; I’d be glad if you could participate!:)
I’m going for it!
Knowing what I know now, I would ground the oats into a coarse meal and toss in another 1/3 cup of whole oats for looks.
AND increase the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon – omit the nutmeg and replace it with 1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves. Yeah, that’s what I would do today.
Good muffins. Don’t taste too “healthy” even though they have whole wheat flour and oatmeal. I just thought that the 1 tsp salt was too much. Had a salty after taste.
Thank you for the feedback, Rachel.
This recipe looks so simple & delicious that I have decided to make them this morning for my 2 kids!!
