Holiday baking is probably over but I have yet another great baking recipe to share with you all—banana oatmeal raisin muffins.

I have always loved banana nut muffins, and raisin butter cake, so this muffin is sort of combining all my favorite ingredients into one, with the addition of oatmeal for the extra fiber and nutrition.

This muffin is rather filling because of the high-energy bananas and also the oatmeal, but the taste is absolutely delicious.

It’s perfect as a breakfast, with a cup of milk or coffee, and a quick pick-me-up afternoon snack.

I have also packed this for my son so he can have it at his day care.

Ingredients  

  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup quick oats , + extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup milk, + 2 tablespoons
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 mashed overripe banana

Instructions 

  • Soak the raisins in 1 tablespoon of water and chill for 2-3 hours. When ready to use, remove them from the refrigerator, squeeze out excess moisture, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Preheat the oven to 380°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin or cupcake pan. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Add the brown sugar and whisk to combine the dry ingredients. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the quick oats and milk. Set aside.
  • In a new bowl, beat the egg, then add the vegetable oil and mix. Incorporate the mashed banana and stir well. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the egg, oil, and banana mixture. Fold until fully combined with no traces of flour, then add the oats and milk mixture. Finally, fold in the raisins, being careful not to overmix.
  • Spoon the batter into each liner until they are 75% to 80% full. Sprinkle some oats on top.
  • Bake at 380°F (190°C) for 10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) for another 8-10 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before storing them in airtight containers.

    My husband and I enjoyed your muffins this morning and loved them. I did add cinnamon and cardamom for extra flavor. Turned out great. Moist and sweet.

    Excellent recipe. Very moist muffins. I topped the muffins with cinnamon sugar and some sliced almond. We put cinnamon in our banana bread as well and it was delicious. Thank you for the recipe.

  7. Carmen says:

    I added cranberries & almond slivers instead of raisins. I added a few pats of melted butter and a tsp of vanilla to the oil. I also added a little of cinnamon sugar, nutmeg & allspice to the flour mixture. I put cinnamon sugar on top instead of oatmeal. Delicious ! My kids loved it. Will make again!!
