Ingredients
- 2 cups whole-grain cereal (crushed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and grated)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed whole-grain cereal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 5
Gently fold in the grated apple and dried cranberries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to 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 leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
