Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Sugar
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Breakfast cereal (your choice)
- 0.5 cups Optional add-ins like raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should just come together.
Gently fold in the breakfast cereal of your choice and any optional add-ins like raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts.
Evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
