Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or stored for a convenient on-the-go option, these muffins are a delightful and healthy addition to your baking repertoire.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Then, add the milk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir the batter until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold the raisins into the batter, distributing them evenly.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
