Ingredients

• 2 cups Raisin bran cereal
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 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 lining it with paper liners or spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

After the cereal has softened, add the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

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 18-22 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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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