Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

For filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
For batter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 1/2 cups raisin bran cereal
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. and line twenty-four 1/2-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Make filling:
  • In a small bowl stir together filling ingredients until combined well. Filling keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.
  • Make batter:
  • Into a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir in cereal. Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and raisins, stirring just until combined well. Batter keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.
  • Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon batter into each tin and top with 2 teaspoons filling. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon batter over filling, spreading to cover filling completely. Bake muffins in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Muffin Pan Preparation: Ensure your muffin pan is properly greased or lined with muffin liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  • Ingredient Temperature: Bring your eggs, milk, and/or yogurt to room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend more evenly and creates a smoother batter.
  • Proper Mixing: Avoid over-mixing the batter. Over-mixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Baking Time: Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached. Over-baking can dry out the muffins.
  • Cooling and Storage: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
