Wonderful breakfast, brunch, or mid-morning snack. This recipe is very versatile. Any kind of cereal works, and you can substitute dried fruit and/or nuts for part of the cereal. If using a cooked, hot cereal like oatmeal, combine with wet ingredients instead of dry.

  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them keep their shape.
  • Enjoy your muffins warm or at room temperature. They're also great toasted.
