Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Servings 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour plain flour is also known as all purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mild olive oil not extra virgin as the flavour is too strong
- 1 cup juicy raisins or sultanas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C or 170° for a fan oven).
- Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper baking cups.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, buttermilk, vanilla and oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed.
- Gently stir in the raisins or sultanas.
- Scoop the batter into muffin cups - I use a quick release ice cream scoop or a ⅓ cup measure to do this.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Muffins taste best slightly warm but they reheat well the next day.
