Ingredients
Rolled oats
1 1/4 cups (plain)
Buttermilk
1 1/4 cups (regular)
Eggs
2 (beaten)
Brown sugar
3/4 cup (packed)
Butter
1/2 cup (melted and cooled)
All-purpose flour
1 cup (sifted)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper baking cups.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats with the buttermilk. Allow this mixture to soak for 1 hour to soften the oats.
3
After the soaking time, add the beaten eggs, packed brown sugar, and melted then cooled butter to the oat mixture. Mix on medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed for about 15 seconds, just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
6
Gently fold in the raisins with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter, ensuring they are evenly filled.
8
Bake in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
