I found this recipe many years ago in Chatelaine magazine. It is a great way to use up dry cereal. I have made it with rice krispies, Honey Bunches of Oats and granola and each time they turned out great.

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 medium apple or pear
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 2 cups cereal (e.g. bran or corn flakes, Fruit & Fibre, Honey Bunches of Oats, Rice Krispies, muesli or granola)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.2
Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper cups.3

I am always trying new cereal that is more healthy but the fact is I like sugary cereal that I try to force down w/ fresh fruit but never make it through the box. I have a Cure!!! I used this on a very very healthy ceral w/ no taste lots of bran and it turned out great. We didn't have an apple or pear on hand so we used 3/4 or 1cup of canned fruit cocktail and no dried fruit (didn't have). Next time I may try canned pears or an apple, and will try cranberries! Oh a must do both sugar/cinnamon combo on top and crushed cereal we used crushed cinnamon life so yummy! Thank You I enjoyed sharing w/ my 1.5 year old.

I'm keeping this recipe and will make it again. These are tasty, moist, and dense. You can't taste the cereal. I used Rice Krispies and Special K. I wouldn't make it unless I was trying to use up last bits of cereal, but I almost always do have those tidbits to use up. I used white sugar, oil, an apple, and raisins (soaked in water first to make them plump). I topped them with streusal (1/4 cup each of flour & brown sugar and 1 1/2 Tbsp. margarine), which made them look extra nice. My oven cooks weird, so I cooked these at 350 for 18 minutes. These muffins don't rise too much, so it was fine to fill the muffin tin up to the top with batter.

Excellent! I made mine with Rice Krispies. Although I don't even notice them. I ended up using a few substitutions though. Nothing too major. I used soy milk made from powder. And I ended up using a banana instead of an apple. Oh, and I used whole wheat flour instead of white. That isn't too bad, is it? They are great. I will make these again and again. Thanks for posting!

Wonderful muffin! I used whole wheat pastry flour, 2 egg whites instead of the 1 egg, sucanat (unprocessed sugar) and soy milk. I also hadn't read it properly and didn't have an apple or a pear so I used apple sauce. I put in dried cranberries and used Kashi Good Friends cereal which has clusters, flakes, and raisins. So I got raisin & cranberries which thrills me to no end! I made them as mini muffins and got 30 minis that needed to cook for about 21 minutes. Lovely flavor and texture.
