Breakfast Cereal Muffins

"Wonderful breakfast, brunch, or mid-morning snack. This recipe is very versatile. Any kind of cereal works, and you can substitute dried fruit and/or nuts for part of the cereal. If using a cooked, hot cereal like oatmeal, combine with wet ingredients instead of dry."

  1. What a great way to use up all those opened boxes of cereal that accumulate in my pantry. I used Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, which made for some very chewy muffins. I definitely will be using this recipe a lot. Thanks for the great idea.
     
  2. Made this recipe for the first time today & they turned out REALLY salty. Not what I was expecting. I used Honey Bunches of Oats. If I make these again I will cut the salt in half, add some cinnamon & maybe some orange flat icing. Love the idea of using up left over cereal that's been in my pantry a while. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  3. I used Captain Crunch and these turned out really gross. Couldn't even eat them.
     
  4. These muffin were a hit. I did let my ceral soke in the milk about 20 min before I add the rest. And they were good the nest day too!!
     
  5. I'm eating my 3rd one in a row right now. I used All Bran Wheat Flakes and I replaced all the oil with unsweetened applesauce. They came out really good. I added pumpkin pie spice to some of them and those tasted really good too. Thanks for the great recipe! I tried eating them 2 days later and they were really awful.
