Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bran Buds cereal
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (e.g., raisins or craisins)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bran Buds cereal and buttermilk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the cereal.
While the cereal soaks, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
After the cereal has softened, stir in the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Gently fold in the dried fruit and nuts (if using) for added texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
