These muffins are a delightful combination of oats, cinnamon, and raisins, perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast.
Soak the oats in the milk for about an hour to soften them.
Soaking the oats ensures a moist texture in the muffins.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a muffin pan with cooking spray or liners.
Using liners makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Mix the soaked oats with the applesauce until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is smooth for even distribution.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Whisking aerates the flour and ensures even mixing.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the raisins.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan.
Fill each cup about three-quarters full for even baking.
Mix the granulated sugar and additional cinnamon, then sprinkle over the tops of the muffins.
This topping adds a delightful crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a rack prevents sogginess from trapped steam.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Pair with a hot beverage for a cozy treat.
