Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
• 0.5 cups Chocolate chips (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 with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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, 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.
