Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cheerios cereal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Bananas (overripe, mashed)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the Cheerios cereal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
