Oatmeal Raisin Mug Muffin (Microwave)

If you’re looking for a warm oatmeal breakfast that doesn’t require a pot, bowl, or much cleanup, this oatmeal raisin mug muffin is a great option.

Mixed right in the mug and cooked in the microwave (affiliate link), it delivers the comforting flavors of oatmeal and raisins in a soft, lightly sweet muffin form. It is quick, satisfying, and easy to adapt based on what you have on hand.

It’s the kind of simple ww-friendly breakfast I come back to when mornings feel rushed.

Why I Love This Mug Muffin

• Single-serving and portion-controlled
• Made in one mug
• Ready in about 2 minutes
• Warm and satisfying
• Easy to customize

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick) – Both work. Quick oats yield a slightly softer texture.
• Ground cinnamon – Adds warmth and is a classic pairing with oatmeal and raisisns.
• Baking powder – Helps the muffin rise slightly.
• Salt – Balances sweetness.
• Egg – Provides structure and protein.
• Raisins – Golden or regular both work. Other dried fruit can be substituted.
• Plain nonfat Greek yogurt – Adds moisture and protein. Regular yogurt works as well.
• Sweetener (Truvia Baking Blend (affiliate link) + brown sugar) – Keeps sweetness balanced. Honey or maple syrup can be used instead.

How to Make Oatmeal Raisin Mug Muffin, Step-by-Step

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Step 2: Stir the oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in the mug until mixed.

Step 3: Add the egg, raisins, yogurt, Truvia (affiliate link) and brown sugar and beat with a fork until thoroughly combined.

Step 4: Microwave on High Power for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes—checking for doneness after 1-1/2 minutes. Look for center of muffin to just be set. (Mine took 2 minutes total, but this will vary from one microwave (affiliate link) to another.)

Step 5: Allow muffin to cool in the mug. Enjoy from the mug or remove and place on small plate.

Recipe Notes and Variations

• Swap raisins for dried cherries, cranberries, or chopped dried apple.
• Add ¼-teaspoon vanilla extract for extra flavor.
• Substitute honey or maple syrup for the sugar if preferred.
• Make this muffin in advance: after cooking muffin, cool slightly and remove from mug. Allow to thoroughly cool and then wrap tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. Will keep 1 day at room temperature or 2 days in the refrigerator. Can be enjoyed later at room temperature or re-heated in microwave.
• Prep ingredients ahead: Mix oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in mug (through Step 2), cover mug and store at room temperature. In a small airtight container, whisk the egg, then add the raisins yogurt and sweetener. Cover egg mixture and store in the refrigerator until ready to make muffin.
