1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit; grease 12 large muffin tins or line with paper baking cups.
2. Combine milk and lemon juice or vinegar and set aside for a few minutes (a substitute for the 1 cup buttermilk in the original recipe).
3. Beat egg in large mixing bowl with a fork; blend in oil, honey and soured milk or buttermilk; stir in cereal and raisins or dates; set aside.
4. Combine remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl; stir liquid mixture into dry ingredients, just until moistened.
