Flourless Gluten-Free Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Every Motherโ€™s Day, I bake a batch of muffins and bring them to my familyโ€™s Motherโ€™s Day celebration. Sadly, this year my family isnโ€™t getting together to honor the current prescribed distancing. 

Mother’s Day can be a difficult holiday for many, and this year seems to be particularly challenging for all of us. We’re all doing the best we can given the current situation. For me, not being able to see my family on a day we all cherish is just a bummer…there is no other way to say it.

Yet, my family is trying to improve the situation by adapting.

Instead of gathering in person, we had a family video call Friday evening, during which I baked these Oatmeal Raisin Muffins as though we were all together in person. 

I pretended like I was on a cooking show, my nieces and nephews were crawling all over my brother and sister-in-law, my other brother who lives in Hawaii was making us jealous by eating poke in front of us…all great things. 

Regardless of where we all stand, I want to take the opportunity to acknowledge all the mothers out there. You are appreciated and loved. My heart and warmest wishes go out to you and your family.

I figured we could all use a fluffy, familiar muffin recipe to share with our loved ones now or later. These gluten-free oatmeal raisin muffins are so speedy quick to throw together, as you simply add all of the ingredients to a blender. It is entirely flourless, using blended rolled oats as the flour. 

It is also dairy-free and refined sugar-free – a WIN for those of us who love a fluffy sweet treat but try to keep it on the healthier end of the spectrum.

Recipe Adaptations:

  • If you prefer your muffins very sweet, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar (or cane sugar if you bake with it), as these muffins are not super sweet.
  • Make them oil-free by omitting the oil and adding one more egg
  • Replace the applesauce with mashed banana. If you go this route, reduce the amount of pure maple syrup you use to 2 tablespoons.

Questions and Reviews

  1. I was really excited to try this recipe, and made the suggested exchanges using a banana and 2 TBLS of coconut oil versus the applesauce and 3 TBLS of oil, and using the suggested 1/2 cup of chocolate chips versus raisins. Instead of baking as muffins, I made smallish cookies.
    Unfortunately the batter is dry. The baking temperature was reduced to about 10 minutes.
    Next time I will add some additional liquid.

    I do like that they are not super sweet.

    1. Hi Tabitha! Thank you for sharing your experience! I’ll update the recipe if need be after I re-test it ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. These are so easy and delicious. I always have to double as my kids will eat one batch in one sitting! (4kids). So grateful for you delicious, healthy recipes, and we are still enjoying you recipe book! I highly recommend!

    1. Thanks so much for the sweet words, Patricia! I’m so happy you and your kids love the muffins, and I’m thriled you’re enjoying my cookbook. I really appreciate the kind note! Stay well! xoxox ๐Ÿ˜€

  3. Aloha Julia. I was touched when I read your blog about your Motherโ€™s Day video call with your ohana. Had a good chuckle reading about your brother eating poke. (I live on Oahu) My mouth salivates every time someone mentions POKE!

    I really enjoy using your recipes, especially the vegan ones. Iโ€™m going to try your oatmeal raisin muffins soon but will use 2 flax eggs instead. Iโ€™m sure they going to be โ€œonoโ€.

    Hope your Motherโ€™s Day was fabulous!

    1. Thanks so much, Ray! Too funny, my brother and his girlfriend are living on Oahu too…I would like to believe your paths will cross randomly at a grocery store or beach (when they open back up ๐Ÿ˜‰ Enjoy all that amazing poke! I hope the muffins turn out great with the flax eggs…feel free to report back! I hope you’re staying well during this trying time ๐Ÿ˜€
