**Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Muffin**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup raisins
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
5. Fold in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
