Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cornflakes (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup skim milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener suitable for baking (e.g., stevia or monk fruit)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflakes and skim milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the softened cornflake mixture. Stir well until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and granulated sweetener.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds 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

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

Step 9

Serve and enjoy these diabetic-friendly Cornflake Spice Muffins as a guilt-free treat!
