Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Stir in oats and let soak for at least 15 minutes. (Time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

While the oats soak, prepare the brown butter. In a small, light-colored saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, swirling the pan constantly. Continue cooking until the butter is melted and golden brown bits begin to form on the bottom of the pan, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. (Time: 7-10 minutes)

03

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. (Time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside. (Time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Add the cooled browned butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the soaked oat mixture. Whisk until well combined. Add the egg and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Gently mix in half of the flour mixture until just combined, then add the remaining flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the raisins and walnuts. (Time: 8 minutes)

06

Step

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. (Time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, approximately 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (Time: 23 minutes)

Browning the butter is key to the deep, nutty flavor of these muffins. Watch it carefully as it can burn quickly!
Feel free to experiment with different nuts, dried fruits, or even chocolate chips to customize these muffins to your liking.
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of maple syrup, or a combination of both.
