Raisin Bran Cereal Muffins are a delightful way to start your day, merging the wholesome goodness of cereal with the comfort of a muffin. The treats are easy to whip up and perfect for a family breakfast or a quick snack during the week.
When considering ingredient substitutions, you might opt for a different kind of cereal if you prefer, though Raisin Bran does add a lovely sweetness and texture. For oil, a mild-flavored oil works well; however, if you’re looking for a healthier option, applesauce could be a fun swap. Always watch for allergies, especially with eggs and gluten in the flour, and ensure you’re using fresh ingredients for the best flavor.

Raisin Bran Cereal Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups Raisin Bran cereal
Instructions
- In a bowl, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to 1 cup milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in 2 cups Raisin Bran cereal, 2 eggs, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/3 cup oil. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cereal to soften a bit. Next, gently mix in 2 1/2 cups flour and 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Grease your muffin tins well to prevent sticking. Scoop the batter into the prepared tins, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for around 10 minutes, but keep an eye on them as oven times can vary; if you opt for larger muffins, they will need a bit longer to bake through.
