Cinnamon Raisin Baked Oatmeal Muffins

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!)

Oats Across America

Quaker surveyed consumers across the country to learn more about breakfast trends by region. One common thread they found was that Americans feel nostalgic when it comes to breakfast and the dishes they grew up eating. Maybe that warm and fuzzy childhood connection is why I love oatmeal so much now! When asked about oatmeal toppings by region, the Northeast, where my mom is from, listed cinnamon and brown sugar as their toppings of choice compared to the other regions who unanimously chose brown sugar as the favorite. (No one said peanut butter! I’m surprised!) Scroll down to find out how you can share your own recipe to be entered to win a $1,000 prize!

A New Take On A Classic Recipe

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 are the primary flavors, with mashed banana for sweetness and a touch of vanilla. 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. The oats on top get a nice crunch to them in the oven!

How To Make Them

This recipe is so easy you can whip these together while your baby eats breakfast! My little helper <3

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!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
