Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In the bowl with the soaked oats, add melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix until just combinedβdo not overmix.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to evenly distribute them in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
