Honey Raisin Bran Muffins



Hey everyone! I am about to leave town one last time before school starts (a final hoo-rah) but before I leave I wanted to share with y'all a little recipe that is easy and yummy. Now I am normally not a huge breakfast person unless it includes pancakes, bacon, chocolate milk and coffee (yes, I like to drink both) the sad part is that I rarely get to have that sort of breakfast; however, I do love muffins. My mom had gotten this recipe and while her and my dad were on a date I decided to make them. I knew she would be excited to see them when they got home. They got home and for some reason she walked into the pantry and saw the Raisin Bran cereal still sitting on the shelf. Turns out I had accidentally used Raisin Bran Crunch (oops!) It ended up being no big deal and the muffins were delicious! So either way you shake it they will be good. In fact if you are feeling like living on the edge make both! Just a thought....From the Splendid Kitchen Enjoy!

Yields: 12 servings

Ingredients:
1 1/4 Cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Cups Kellogg's Raisin Bran cereal
1 Cup milk
1/4 Cup honey
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

To start off these muffins go ahead and pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.


Mix together and set aside.


In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cereal, milk and honey.


Let stand for about 1-2 minutes just so the cereal can absorb some of the milk and honey.

Add egg and oil and beat well.




Time to add the flour mixture! Be sure and add slowly until it is all incorporated.


Perfect!


Grab your muffin pan and either spray with some PAM or put cupcake liners in. Distribute the batter evenly. Note you can really use whatever size muffin tin you like it will just slightly alter the cook time and the serving size. The recommended size is 2 1/2 inches. (12 muffins)


Pop 'em in the oven for about 18-20 minutes or until you notice the tops browning....and sooner than you know it they are done!



They should come out fairly easily if you followed the directions 2 steps ago :) Sometimes it helps to just get a knife and run it around the edges and then they will pop out easily. The picture is a little fuzzy but it is still a cute lookin muffin.


Simply set them onto a cooling rack and there you have it!


These are great warmed up and you will not have to concern yourself with eating them quickly. Mine lasted a little over a week. Bringing great muffins to you...until next time happy baking from the Splendid Kitchen!
