Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Red River cereal
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: Red River cereal, oat bran, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
If desired, fold in the raisins or dried cranberries and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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.
Enjoy these hearty, fiber-rich muffins as a breakfast on the go or a nutritious snack!
