Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Kashi cereal (unsweetened, crushed)
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Kashi cereal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute ingredients evenly.
Mix in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
