Ingredients for Cinnamon Brown Sugar Muffins

  • Granola Cereal
  • 15% Cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

How to Make Cinnamon Brown Sugar Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of cereal (e.g., crushed cornflakes), 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 cup milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the softened cereal mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm with apple wedges, strawberries, and a tall glass of milk for the ultimate comforting treat!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
