Ingredients

• 2 cups Raisin Bran cereal
• 1 cup Milk (preferably low-fat or plant-based)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut 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 the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal and milk. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the cereal to soften.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

After the cereal has softened, add the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the large bowl. Mix everything until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin compartments, filling each about 2/3 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. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
