If you haven’t already guessed it, my favorite kind of muffins are oatmeal raisin. They’re sweet but not too sweet and they have a really great chewy texture. What’s not to love? Made with rolled oats, raisins, unsweetened applesauce and almond butter, these Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Muffins are ready in only 30 minutes and are the perfect after-dinner dessert or brunch pastry.

My love of oatmeal raisin really started when I was in elementary school. One of my older brothers began experimenting in the kitchen and would make recipes he found in an old, inexpensive paperback copy of the Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook my mom had sitting on the shelf. My other brother and I would help and the type of recipes we often chose to make were of the pie, cookie and pizza variety 🙂

Typical teenagers.

Though we made many recipes during that time, the one we kept coming back to was one for a classic oatmeal raisin cookie. It was a flavor that everyone in the house enjoyed and a recipe that we always had all of the ingredients for in the pantry.

Since then, the oatmeal raisin combination has been my top choice for many things -bagels, scones, cookies, breads and muffins. If there was an oatmeal raisin ice cream flavor, it would probably be my favorite.

I’m sure it exists, right? Somewhere?

After thinking about my love of oatmeal raisin everything, I decided to take a crack at making something of my own.

Naturally, I made three failed batches of oatmeal raisin cookies.

I’m not exactly the best baker, and though I’m practicing and getting better each time, it’s definitely still a work in progress.

Luckily, something amazing happened – feeling disappointed and defeated, I picked up a “cookie” from the third batch (sure as hell didn’t look like a cookie), tasted it and immediately thought it would make a great muffin. It was too bread-y and moist to be a cookie, but it was too dense to be a cake. Muffin it is!

    These are the best! I make them all the time with peanut butter instead of almond butter and love them.

    I’ve been making this as a breakfast cake for 3 weeks now, and somehow I’m still obsessed. I’ve tweeked it abit added a banana and a tablespoon of coconut oil. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be eating this but I love it! This is the first gluten free oat recipe that I’ve tried and really enjoyed. I’ll definitely be looking at the rest of your recipes :).
