Grandma's Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Description
Grandma's Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Muffins begin by soaking old-fashioned oats in boiling water to soften them, which contributes to the muffin's moist crumb. Flour is combined with cinnamon and leavening agents like baking powder and soda balanced by salt. The batter is made by creaming butter with brown and granulated sugars, then adding eggs and vanilla before combining with the dry ingredients, soaked oats, walnuts, coconut flakes, and raisins for a blend of textures and flavors.
The batter is portioned into paper-lined muffin cups and topped with walnut halves before baking at 350°F. Baking time is 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. The finished muffins have a tender but substantial crumb, with cinnamon warmth and nutty sweetness balanced by chewy raisins and coconut.
Muffins can be served warm or at room temperature, making them suitable for breakfast or snacks, and the recipe produces 30 muffins with individual cupcake liners.
