Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these WW 1 Point Oatmeal Raisin Muffins. See exact measurements in the recipe card below:

Old Fashioned Rolled Oats - Using old-fashioned rolled oats to make homemade oatmeal raisin muffins provides a hearty texture and boosts the nutritional value of your muffins.

Unlike instant oats, rolled oats retain more of their fiber and nutrients, which help promote better digestion and keep you feeling full longer.

They also give muffins a wholesome, satisfying bite, making them a perfect healthy option for breakfast or an on-the-go snack.

Raisins - Sun-Maid California Raisins were used for these healthy muffins. You could use golden raisins or even swap with chocolate chips if you are a chocolate lover.

Expert Tips

• Choose the Right Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Instant oats may make the muffins dense, while steel-cut oats require pre-soaking.
• Balance Moisture: If your apples are extra juicy, reduce the applesauce slightly to avoid a soggy muffin texture.
• Spice it Up: Add warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a pinch of allspice to enhance the flavors of the apples and raisins.
• Don't Overmix: Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
• Raisin Boost: Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to the batter. This keeps them plump and juicy during baking.
• Storage Tips: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Place a paper towel inside the container to absorb excess moisture.
• Freezing Ideas: Let muffins cool completely before freezing. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for a quick snack.
