01
Step 1
Start by mixing the buttermilk, rolled oats, and raisins in a bowl. Cover it and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight so the oats can soak up all that flavor. When you're ready to bake, heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin really well.

Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and wheat germ. In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, add the honey and egg, mixing everything until it’s combined.

Step 3
Now, add the flour mixture and the soaked buttermilk mixture to the wet ingredients in batches, alternating between the two. Stir gently just until everything is combined and the batter is evenly moistened.

Step 4
Spoon the batter evenly into your muffin tin and bake for about 22 to 28 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the middle. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
