Raisin-Bran Muffins image

These low-fat morning treats only taste indulgent; all six muffins contain just one egg, and a quarter cup each of dark-brown sugar and oil keeps them surprisingly moist. Raisin-bran cereal soaked in milk lends hearty texture.

Yield makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups raisin-bran cereal
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with paper liners. In a bowl, combine cereal with milk; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. In another bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir oil, egg, and brown sugar into cereal mixture, then fold in flour mixture.
  • Divide batter evenly among lined cups. Bake, rotating tin halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Cool in tin 5 minutes, then turn out muffins onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature. Muffins can be stored up to 3 days at room temperature, or frozen up to 3 months, in a large resealable plastic bag; thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven before serving.
  • A 2-inch ice-cream scoop with a release mechanism divides batter quickly and evenly. Simply transfer one heaping scoopful from the mixing bowl into each muffin cup.
