Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granola or muesli
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins like raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granola or muesli, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and light brown sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be just combined.
If using optional mix-ins like raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins slightly warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
