Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raisin bran cereal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- 0.25 cup Extra raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the chopped walnuts (or pecans) and optional extra raisins, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy! These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
