Original Recipe Yield 12 muffins
 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons wheat germ
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 1/3 cups raisins
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a muffin pan, or use paper liners.
  2. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 2/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice until golden brown. Stir in 2/3 cup water and remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar. Cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/3 cup uncooked oats, baking powder and wheat germ. Whisk together egg and evaporated milk. Make a well in the center of flour mixture, and pour in egg mixture and cooked oatmeal. Mix just until combined. Dredge raisins in 1 tablespoon flour, then fold into batter. Spoon into muffin cups.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
