Ingredients

• 1 cup Red River cereal
• 1 cup Oat bran
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: Red River cereal, oat bran, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the raisins or dried cranberries and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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 muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these hearty, fiber-rich muffins as a breakfast on the go or a nutritious snack!
