Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups wheat Bran Buds cereal
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat Bran Buds cereal and milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the cereal softens.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Once the cereal has softened, add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the cereal and milk mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix. If you're using raisins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
