These one-bowl Lemon-Raspberry Oat Muffins are one bowl, made with no refined sugars, and baked to perfection all in 20 minutes. It's the perfect breakfast on the go - no mixer required!
This recipe makes 9 Lemon-Raspberry Oatmeal Muffins, so make a batch on Sunday during your meal prep session to last you throughout the week! You basically get to have a healthy, filling bowl of oatmeal on the go. They're also freezer-friendly and can be heated up in the microwave if you prefer them warm.
Ingredients
- Oats - Oats are the base of this healthy recipe; no flour included! I used 1-minute oats in this recipe, but I think steel-cut oats would work just as well.
- Raspberries - Grab some fresh raspberries and roughly chop them up; this helps ensure that tasty flavor in each bite. Be sure to gently stir them into the batter... raspberries are sensitive.
- Lemons - We use the juice of one lemon for our base flavor, then ramp it up by zesting the peel and adding that to the batter as well. Lemon and raspberry are one of my favorite flavor combos!
- Maple Syrup - These oatmeal muffins have no refined sugar (and are non-dairy as well!) We use pure maple syrup as a sweetener; as a bonus, you really don't need as much since the fruit also provides sweetness.
Are Oatmeal Muffins Healthy for You?
I believe everyone should have their own version of "healthy", but I can certainly say that these oat muffins are much healthier than their traditional counterparts! Yep, as tasty as they are, regular muffins are just cupcakes for breakfast... sorry!
In my recipe, we replace all-purpose flour with oats which are much easier on the digestive system. We also use maple syrup as a sweetener instead of white sugar. There's no dairy in these oat muffins. Plus, there's fresh fruit in every bite!
Even with all of the smart swaps, you don't lose out on the tasty flavors, or the experience of eating something sweet instead of savory for breakfast. These Lemon-Raspberry Oat Muffins are perfectly sweet, light, and fluffy soft... trust me, they don't last long in my house at all.

These look so good! My toddler loves lemon and is on a real raspberry kick right now so they would be perfect! Is it possible to make these with old fashioned oats? Or as mini muffins?
Shani W. says
You could definitely take the recipe and make mini muffins! As far as the old fashioned oats, I haven't tried them personally but don't see any reason you couldn't. 🙂 I hope your toddler loves these!
