Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup Fiber One™ original cereal
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil, dill, rosemary, thyme, sage, or chives
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen fat-free egg product, thawed
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, cereal, Parmesan cheese, sugar, herb, baking powder, and baking soda. Make a well in the center of flour mixture; set aside.
  • In a medium glass bowl, combine milk and lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes to create sour milk. Whisk in egg product and oil. Add milk mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin cups. Serve warm.
  • Tip: Refrigerate extra muffins for another meal. To reheat, place a muffin on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on 100% power (high) about 15 seconds or until warm.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for added sugar.
  • Measure the flour correctly: To prevent dry, dense muffins, use the spoon and level method to measure the flour. Scoop the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This creates a crispy outer crust and a moist, tender interior.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing: This allows the flavors to meld and the muffins to set properly.
