As I sat in my cozy kitchen one breezy Sunday morning, contemplating what delightful treat to bake, my eyes fell upon a familiar sight on the pantry shelves - a box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran Cereal.
Get a super big bowl. Pour the whole box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran Cereal into it.
Pour the buttermilk (or plain yogurt) over the cereal. Use a spoon to mix everything up well. Break those cereal flakes apart.
Take a big spoon. Mix in all the other stuff - beaten eggs, vegetable or canola oil, flour, baking soda, granulated sugar, and salt.
Let it chill for 20 minutes. After that, give it another good mix.
Heat your oven to 375°F. While it's heating up, spray your muffin tins with baking spray.
Fill each muffin tin about ¾ full with the muffin batter.
Time to bake! If you're making mini-muffins, bake for 14 minutes. Regular-sized ones need 16 minutes. For jumbo-sized muffins, give them 18-20 minutes in the oven.
Once they're done baking, take them out, and let them cool a bit. Now, enjoy your homemade Kellogg's Raisin Bran Muffins!
Notes
Use fresh eggs for the best results in texture and flavor.
Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before baking to ensure the ingredients meld together.
Experiment with adding chopped nuts or dried fruit for a personalized touch.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for longer shelf life.
For a healthier twist, you can substitute whole wheat flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour.
