Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Oatmeal Raisin Muffins offer a moist, tender crumb made from old fashioned oats soaked in milk, flavored with cinnamon and sweetened with maple syrup and brown sugar. Raisins provide bursts of sweetness, and a topping of turbinado sugar adds a distinctive crunch and finished look. These muffins bake to a golden brown with a slightly crisp sugar topping, suitable for breakfast or snacks. The recipe balances hearty oats and raisins with smooth, lightly spiced batter to achieve a satisfying texture.

Notes
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Sprinkling turbinado sugar on top is essential for a desirable crunchy texture.
- Avoid overloading the batter with mix-ins to prevent dense muffins and poor rising.
