How to make Caramelized Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C.
Step 2: Ready a muffin pan. Lightly grease or line with paper liners.
Step 3: In a skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add 2/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice to the skillet. Cook until golden brown, then stir in 2/3 cup water and the rest of the 1/3 cup brown sugar. Continue to cook until the mixture is a bit thick. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool.
Step 4: Place the flour, 1/3 cup uncooked oats, baking powder, and wheat germ in a large bowl. Mix until everything is incorporated.
Step 5: Mix the egg and evaporated milk.
Step 6: In the middle of the flour mixture, make a well, then pour in the egg mixture and the cooked oatmeal. Mix well until just combined. In a tbsp flour, dredge the raisins, then fold into the batter.
Step 7: Into the prepared muffin cups, spoon the batter. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.
