This is my absolute favorite recipe for muffins because they are healthy, yet sweet, and have lots of substance. Definitely an oatmeal kind of stick-to-your-ribs breakfast (or snack). I usually make a double batch and keep them in the fridge in a big ziplock bag for whenever the urge hits anyone. My little brother's girlfriend can't wait till I make them again. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups raisin bran cereal (extra raisin kind is even better or just add more raisins if you want) |
1 cup milk (i use lowfat, of course) |
1/4 cup canola oil |
2 large eggs, slightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups finely chopped peeled granny smith apples (about 2 small) |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1/2 cup pecans (optional) |
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 farenheit.
2. Spray regular-size muffin tins w/ nonstick spray.
3. Combine raisin bran, milk, oil, eggs, & vanilla and let stand 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon.
5. Stir cereal mixture to even and add all at once to flour mixture; stirring just till moistened.
6. Spoon evenly into prepared tins.
7. Bake 16-18 minutes for regular size or 10-12 minutes for mini muffins.
8. Test with toothpick inserted in center of muffin, when clean, they're done.
9. Remove muffins from tins and place in big bowl lined w/ towel for serving or in ziplock after cooling.
