Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of Raisin Bran cereal
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In another bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of Raisin Bran cereal, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spoon half of the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin. Make a small well in the center of each muffin and spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the well.
- Cover the cream cheese filling with the remaining muffin batter, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
