Description

These Toasty Walnut Muffins offer a delightful balance of soft, cake-like texture and crunchy nuttiness. Perfect for a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack, they feature wholesome quick-cooking oats and unbleached flour, studded with plump raisins and rich, toasted walnuts. A light sprinkle of cinnamon adds warmth, while the brown sugar and butter topping provides a subtle crunch and extra sweetness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the oats and 2 tablespoons of warm water; let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a dash of salt.
  3. Stir the egg yolk, oil, and milk into the oat mixture until combined.
  4. Add the wet oat mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 3 tablespoons of the toasted walnuts and the raisins.
  6. Line four 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins with paper baking cups.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and remaining walnuts to create a crumbly topping.
  9. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the muffins.
  10. Microwave uncovered on 100% power for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes, rearranging the cups twice during cooking to ensure even heating.
  11. Cook until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean; the surface may still look slightly moist.
  12. Remove the muffins from the custard cups and let stand on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
