Breakfast Cereal Muffins

littleturtle's Note:

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.

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.

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.

I made these today with raspberry and blueberry granola plus I added about 1/2 cup of dried berries. They are so good! And they smell so yummy while they are baking. Thanks for the great recipe!
