Description

These individual microwave muffins offer a fast, satisfying treat that is perfect for a busy morning or an afternoon snack. The combination of rolled oats and unbleached flour creates a hearty, wholesome base, while the addition of toasted walnuts and plump raisins adds texture and natural sweetness. A warm spice of cinnamon enhances the flavor profile, making each bite comforting and aromatic. This recipe is ideal for those seeking a quick, homemade feel without the wait time of a conventional oven.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Stir together the rolled oats and 1 tablespoon of warm water in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a dash of salt.
  3. To the oat mixture, stir in the egg yolk, cooking oil, and milk until well combined.
  4. Add the wet oat mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 5 teaspoons of the toasted walnuts and the raisins into the batter.
  6. Line two 6-ounce custard cups or microwave-safe ramekins with paper baking cups.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
  8. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon flour, brown sugar, butter, and the remaining walnuts to create a crumbly topping.
  9. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the muffins in the cups.
  10. Microwave uncovered on 100% power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, rearranging the cups halfway through cooking if necessary.
  11. Check for doneness: the surface may appear slightly moist, but a wooden pick inserted near the center should come out clean.
  12. Remove from the microwave and let stand in the cups for 1 minute.
  13. Carefully remove the muffins from the custard cups and place them on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
  14. Serve warm.
