How to make Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Step 1 – In a bowl, combine the raisins with 1/3 cup of the milk. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.
Step 2 – At the same time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 6 muffin cups with paper cups or spray the muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3 – Melt the butter slightly. It should be part liquid and part solid. Allow to cool.
Step 4 – In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg and the brown sugar, mixing until smooth.
Step 5 – Add the butter and vanilla to the sugar mixture. Stir together.
Step 6 – Add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients.
Step 7 – Add 1/4 cup milk, quick oats, and the milk with raisins to the flour mixture. Fold together until just combined, do not overmix!
Step 8 – Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle extra raisins and a little bit of turbinado sugar on top of each muffin.
Step 9 – Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 10 – Let the oatmeal muffins cool slightly before removing from the muffin pan.

To be honest, I was looking to duplicate a muffin I recently had while traveling. This one just popped up in my email this morning and it was so simple, I decided it would be the base for trying to duplicate that delish muffin - - IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I used the exact recipe, but added crushed sunflower seeds, chopped dried apricots, ground flax (our server shared what ingredients were in their recipe, minus the measurements, of course). They smelled delicious while cooking and I will make them again without adding the extras, as I am positive they'll be just as delish! Thanks for sharing!!
