Ingredients

• 2 cups Grape-Nuts Flakes cereal
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Milk
• 2 units Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cups Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Grape-Nuts Flakes cereal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are ok.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the optional chopped nuts or dried fruit.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-fourths 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

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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