Ingredients

• 2 cups wheat Bran Buds cereal
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat Bran Buds cereal and milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the cereal softens.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the cereal has softened, add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the cereal and milk mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix. If you're using raisins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

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

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

Step 9

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