Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups corn flakes cereal
• 0.5 cup additional corn flakes, crushed (for topping)

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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the corn flakes cereal into the batter carefully to preserve their crunchy texture.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes on top of each muffin for an extra crunchy topping.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these delicious corn flake muffins as a breakfast treat or snack.
