SERVES:12 muffins
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 1/2 cups oat bran cereal
- 1/2 cup raisins (golden or regular)
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 Tbs baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- Butter or oil for greasing 12-cup muffin pan
PROCEDURE:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and use a large mixing bowl to combine 2 1/2 cups oat bran cereal and 1/2 cup raisins with 1 1/2 cups of milk to start softening up the cereal.
Let that go for 5 minutes or so and, while that's happening, use another mixing bowl to combine 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1 Tbs baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and mix it up.
Make sure to break up all the lumps of dark brown sugar and then add 2 eggs to the cereal mixture...as well as 1/2 cup of vegetable oil...stir that in and then fold the dry ingredients into that.
Divide the batter into a well buttered, or paper cup lined 12-cup muffin pan and place that on the center rack of the preheated oven.
They'll take about 20-25 minutes to bakeā¦..just use a toothpick test to check for doneness.
HINTS:
Substitute 3 cups of regular raisin bran instead of the oat bran and raisin combination.
