  • 1 1 1 cup rolled oats

  • 1 1 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon baking powder (low-sodium if possible)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.

Combine oats, milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let stand while preparing other ingredients.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and brown sugar.

Add egg and oil to oat mixture. Mix well.

Add oat mixture to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Gently fold in raspberries.

Scoop batter into muffin tin, filling each cup 3/4 of the way full.

Bake for 15 to 22 minutes or until top bounces back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes before removing muffins to a cooling rack.
