🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cups Grape-Nuts Flakes cereal
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Milk

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Grape-Nuts Flakes cereal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are ok.

5. If desired, fold in the optional chopped nuts or dried fruit.

6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-fourths full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
