Ingredients

• 3 cups Raisin bran cereal
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 units Eggs, large
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by either greasing it or lining it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal and milk. Stir to moisten the cereal, and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the softened cereal mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Stop stirring as soon as the batter is just combined.

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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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