Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Kashi cereal (unsweetened, crushed)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Low-fat milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Kashi cereal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute ingredients evenly.

Step 3

Mix in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
