DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, combine the oats, 1 cup milk, and lemon juice; let stand for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and melted butter into the oat mixture. Add the oat mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until no flour remains (batter will be lumpy). Fold in the raisins.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling the wells about 2/3 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
While the muffins bake, whisk the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and melted butter together in a small bowl. Add enough milk to make a thick glaze (about 1 tablespoon). Top each warm muffin with a teaspoon of the maple glaze before serving. Serve with an 8-ounce glass of milk.
