These cinnamon raisin baked oatmeal muffins are baked in a single serving muffin cup and easy to eat and reheat for breakfast on busy mornings. This post is sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company
My love for oats began long before I had an oatmeal-centric blog. When we were in high school, my sister and I asked my mom if she could start making us hot breakfasts on cold winter mornings. (As opposed to us making our own yogurt or toast.)
The next morning she made us hot oatmeal on the stove top for breakfast using – you guessed it – Quaker Oats. Her recipe was a simple, classic mix of cinnamon, raisins, and brown sugar. (There were no fancy toppings or drippy nut butters in the 90s!)
Cinnamon Raisin Baked Oatmeal Muffins
These cinnamon raisin baked oatmeal muffins are the 2019 version of my mom’s classic oatmeal. Baked in a single serving, easy-to-reheat muffin cup, you can enjoy them out of hand (muffin-style) or on a plate with a fork (baked oatmeal style). I like mine with almond butter on top!
Ingredients
Cinnamon and Raisins
Cinnamon and raisins are the primary flavors
Banana
Mashed banana for sweetness
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar makes a light dusting across the top of each muffin for added sweet crunch, but you can leave it out if you’d like.
Oats inside and on top
The oats on top get a nice crunch to them in the oven!
How To Make The Oatmeal Muffins
I love recipes that flow as follows: mix dry ingredients. mix wet ingredients. mix wet into dry. Easy peasy!
Combine dry ingredients in one bowl
Combine wet in another. Then pour wet into dry.
Stir in raisins
Portion evenly into muffin cups
And sprinkle with brown sugar
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
These muffin cups would be fun for a brunch, a picnic, busy mornings out the door, from the freezer – the versatility is endless!

I have everything I need to make these. Will use pbutter instead of raisins. Question, what do you use to get the calorie count for your recipes? There are times when I need this tool, but have to figure it out the old fashioned way and give my brain cells/math skills a good work out. LOL

Usually the My Fitness Pal calculator. Nothing fancy! Quaker’s team actually did this one : )

I dislike raisins but this sounds delicious otherwise!
Ginny Monsma says
Have you ever tried dried cranberries or cherries?
Kori says
Matt and I really love these! They are not super sweet, which we love as one could leave it as-is or add maple, jam, honey, pb, etc. Thank you for a great go-to recipe!
KathEats says
Thanks for the feedback!

These are really good! Tastes like oatmeal banana bread. I dislike raisins, so used pecans. I used paper cups and because there’s no fat, they stuck really bad. I need to invest in some silicone muffin cups and will make them again..
Carla says
Calling this a muffin isn’t quite accurate. I was disappointed.
Kath Younger says
It’s muffin shaped!!

I love the ingredients, healthy aspect and appealing look! Super easy to make! But the taste was disappointing. And it did stick to paper liner. I want to try it again with whole milk, a very ripe banana, more raisins and possibly more vanilla and sugar on top.
