Ingredients

• 2 cups Raisin bran cereal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 unit Large egg
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (or pecans)
• 0.25 cup Extra raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts (or pecans) and optional extra raisins, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each 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

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy! These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
