Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cheerios cereal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 medium Bananas (overripe, mashed)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the Cheerios cereal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins 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 for up to 3 days.
