Ingredients

• 1 cup Kashi cereal (original or whole grain variety)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Mashed ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kashi cereal, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the applesauce, egg, milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until all wet ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruit, if using.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 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

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to keep them fresh longer. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
