Ingredients

• 2 cups raisin bran cereal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup, packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional for extra sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the extra raisins for added sweetness and texture.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula or spoon.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal-sized pieces.

Step 9

Enjoy as a wholesome snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
