Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raisin Bran cereal
- 1 cup Milk (preferably low-fat or plant-based)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal and milk. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the cereal to soften.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
After the cereal has softened, add the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the large bowl. Mix everything until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin compartments, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
