Muffins are one of many traditional breakfast quickbreads; unlike biscuits, muffins usually contain some form of fruit or other garnish. These muffins are especially healthy because they are made with whole wheat flour and oats. See the notes at the bottom of the recipe for ideas about how to customize this muffin recipe to your own tastes; the basic proportions should work for any flavor of oat muffin.

  4. In a smaller bowl, thoroughly combine eggs, sugar, milk, oil, apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla and raisins
  5. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with bare hands until just combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Fill muffin cups about three-quarters full, then place on oven's upper rack and turn the oven down to 375 °F (190 °C)
  7. Turn muffin pans 180° after 10 minutes; check for doneness after 15 minutes

Notes, tips, and variations

  • Optional variations: use carrot instead of apple, or dried cranberries or other dried fruit instead of the raisins.

Warnings

  • Overmixing will lead to worming, which is caused by gluten development. You will see this as vertical tunnels running through your muffins, much like a worm might leave.

Conversion Notes

  1. Weight conversions from USDA National Nutrient Database (NND), except for apple, for which a sample was grated, measured to 237 mL and weighed 10 times, and answers averaged. Original recipe text and ingredient order preserved. Brown sugar and raisins not specified as packed or unpacked, packed presumed. Large egg presumed. All conversions performed on U.S. customary (i.e. cups, teaspoons, etc.). USDA NND uses a cup size of about 237 mL, while the milliliter entries are using the FDA cup size of 240 mL.
