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