Frosted Flakes

Me: Wake up, L! I made muffins! L: Oooh, the Coffee Cake Muffins?! Me: Nooo, the Raisin Bran Muffins! L: Why? Where's the love? Me: I frosted them! And besides, the raisin bran is Costco's gi-normous Organic Raisin Bran and it's set to expire the end of March. If we all get right with ourselves and insides, we'll get through it together. (Well, the little bit of confectioner's sugar and milk did help.) From the January/February 2007 Issue #39

RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups raisin bran cereal

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 400. In medium bowl combine cereal with milk; let stand until softened about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir oil, egg and sugar into cereal mixture. Fold in flour mixture. Divide batter into cups.

The recipe says it makes 6, but I filled 10 cups. They also baked a lot more quickly - 12-14 minutes v. 20-25 minutes.
