Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c fiber one honey clusters cereal
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp fresh ground flaxseed
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3/4 c light brown sugar, packed
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp margarine or butter, melted
1 3/4 c plain yogurt (or plain greek yogurt)
1 apple, peeled,cored and diced (i like fuji)
TOPPING: (IF DESIRED)
1/2 c fiber one honey clusters cereal, crushed
1 tsp margarine or butter

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a muffin pan with nonstick spray (or line with paper liners.)
2. Crush cereal to fine in either a food processor or by hand with a rolling pin (put cereal in a ziploc first.)Place in a large bowl; add flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend well. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk egg and egg yolk until well blended but not frothy. Stir in brown sugar, honey and vanilla. Stir in yogurt until combined. Fold in cereal/flour mixture and apples just until combined.
4. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups all the way to the top.
5. OPTIONAL TOPPING: Crush cereal just enough so it doesn't resemble a cereal anymore. Blend in butter well so it all begins to clump. If desired, mix together topping and place a little on each muffin pressing it in with your fingers.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 15-25 minutes (depends on size of muffin) or until a deep golden brown and toothpick tests done. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
