Have I ever mentioned my weakness for oatmeal? I love it in all forms...even pie. When I came across an oatmeal muffin recipe, I knew I had to try it.
The tops of the muffins turned out like real oatmeal cookies. The bases had a moist cake texture. They were delicious fresh out of the oven. I put most of them into the freezer, though, for a future breakfast.
The recipe didn't call for raisins, but I couldn't leave the oatmeal all alone. I am glad I went ahead and added the raisins. If more of my family liked nuts, I'd have added some walnuts or pecans, too.
Oatmeal Raisin Muffins (adapted from Southern Living 1982)

2 cups oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2/3 cups oil
3/4 cup raisins
Combine dry ingredients (including brown sugar) in a bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk and oil, stirring until just combined. Fold in raisins. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 18+ minutes or until done.

Oh my gosh they look just like the cookie! I am going to have to have one...thank you very much! YUM!
This is terrific! I just recently fell in love with oatmeal - but I fell hard! Delicious!
Nice flavorful cookies. Wanna have some with a glass of milk.
I think raisins and oatmeal should always be paired :-) Thank you for sharing such a yummy treat with me. My long day at work will be all the more sweeter now that I've visited your blog. Hugs from Austin!
Not sure why, but I have never made any kind of oatmeal muffin. I am going to have to remedy that soon - these sound like a great breakfast treat!
Isn't it amazing how when you add oatmeal to something you all of a sudden feel less guilty for eating it? Well, at least I do. These look wonderful. But, oatmeal in pie? Hum...I'm interested to see that recipe.
yum! Have you ever made poor man's pecan pie? It uses oatmeal instead of pecans...but equally insanely good :)
From one oatmeal lover to another...thank you! These sounds wonderful. I would LOVE the tops being like the cookie. Oh YUM! Stop by my blog and check out a giveaway going on...www.thebetterbaker.blogspot.com/2011/08/500-fans-giveaway.html

I like the raisins addition too, these do look just great, so much oatmeal in every bite... I don't think I have seen an oatmeal muffin, glad you posted it
That sounds really good with the cookie top and the cake bottoms.
Those oatmeal muffins look splendid! If I didn't look at them from the side, they look just like oatmeal cookies!
The moment you said the top of these taste like oatmeal cookies, I was sold! Definitely going to have to make a batch of these soon =)
They look just like cookie on top! Mmm I bet they taste so good. Thanks for sharing!
Kirsten - these look amazing. Allspice and cinnamon were made for muffins like these! I quite like how the tops look like cookies but with a muffin underneath.
Those look AWESOME! Love this recipe, at first I thought those really were oatmeal raisin cookies! Can't wait to give these a try!
Yummy! What a great recipe!! These look delicious :)
Ok, these muffins look fabulous! If only I had all of the ingredients and the time to bake them right now!!

I can't wait to try this. I wanted to let you know that I featured these in my "What I Bookmarked This Week" post today. Stop by and see!
I love anything made with oatmeal. And, I'm not a raisin fan (I pick them out) but they give everything great flavor that you can't substitute.
Not the biggest raisin fan, but I'd love to make these muffins with craisins!
I can't pass up an oatmeal recipe either. ;) Must give these a whirl.
