Who doesn’t love a good Classic Oatmeal Raisin Muffin? These Classic Oatmeal Raisin Muffins were a request from my smallest. The picky eater, hater of all things flavourful, you know, that kid of mine. She’s lucky she’s so adorable because feeding her sometimes makes me pull out my hair.

While classic oatmeal raisin muffins aren’t really the most spectacular muffins flavor-wise, my favorite daughter (read: only daughter, but I’m sure if I had more, she’d still be the favorite) raised a good point in asking me to make these. The classics – while not always spectacular or worthy of a billion re-pins on Pinterest- are the bomb.

These are that type of classic. Plain, simple, Oatmeal Raisin Muffins.

They are just good. They’re not super-sweet or loaded with sugar and they have a taste that really brings me back to my own childhood, before the days when muffins all of a sudden had 10 teaspoons of sugar in each one and were actually cupcakes in disguise.

The crunch of the muffin tops with these really made me happy. I love a good muffin top (don’t even go there, I’m talking about muffins, not spare tires) that gets a fabulous crispy edge. If you bake these without liners, you’re going to get that great crisp as well.

You know what? I think bran muffins should be next. The good old kind that has a batter that sits in the fridge for a week, those ones, know what I mean?

I’m sure my mom has that recipe floating around somewhere…

Happy Baking everyone!

Love,

Karlynn

  2. Wendie Ross says

    Hi,
    My husband came home form the nursing home January 29th and hasn’t had much of an appetite. I made your recipe this morning using zero added sugar Craisins and he asked for seconds!
    Thanks very much for the recipe.

    All worked as far as ingredients and directions. I doubled it and will add more oil next time as they were dry.

  5. Jennell Greer says

    Can the sour milk be substituted for buttermilk?

  6. Tanya Lagace says

    These are very nice. I’ve just made them and having two now with a cup of coffee. I followed the recipe, used silicone muffin trays, and took them out of the oven right on 17 minutes. My favourite thing is how none of the raisins got burnt! Not even on the bottoms! I’ll definitely be making these again 🙂5 stars

  7. John Charles Kennedy says

    I made the mistake of following (exactly) this recipe’s amounts of baking soda and baking powder and the amt suggested is TOO MUCH. Result: a sour tasking muffin that will go over like a screendoor in a submarine in my house.1 star

  8. Abbie G says

    I made these today, and they were wonderful. I live at high altitude, and didn’t make any changes, so the recipe is very forgiving. In addition, I used whole wheat flour for 1/3 of the flour, and it didn’t make a difference in texture or taste. – I always like a way to increase whole grains!

  9. Darlene FJ says

    I made these muffins tonight for an upcoming sister’s weekend. I allowed my husband to taste test one☺️. He said “these are so good!” I have emailed the recipe to myself to remember how to make them. Absolutely delicious. Loved the crunch on the muffin top. Thank you❤️5 stars

  10. Mike McCully says

    I doubled the recipe and added extra raisins and chopped walnuts. They were floury and the oil was prevalent. I added cinnamon and nutmeg as well. They turned out too dry.

  11. Anna Richey says

    This is my favorite muffin recipe and I make it over and over. The basic recipe is just perfect but I often add variations by using half wheat white flour or adding cinnamon and vanilla last night. I added dried cherries with the raisins.5 stars
