Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup bran cereal
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup raisins or diced apple
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, bran cereal, and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats and cereal to soften.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Add the raisins or diced apple to the dry ingredients and toss to coat. This helps prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 5

To the softened oat and bran mixture, add the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 7

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

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 to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
