Magic Muffin Recipe
Malt-O-Meal hot cereal gives these muffins great texture and a slightly nutty flavor. Feel free to add any mix-ins you love!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¾ cup Malt-O-Meal hot cereal, dry
- ¼ vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour (6.25 ounces)
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips (or other mix-ins of your choice)
Instructions
- Bring the milk barely to a simmer in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cereal. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- While the cereal sits, heat your oven to 375° and spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cereal mixture, oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a seperate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients with the chocolate chips. Stir just until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Bake at 375° for about 18 minutes, or until the middle is set. The muffins don't turn very brown, but they are done.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Muffins are also tasty plain, with no additional mix-ins. They will be slightly smaller, so decrease the baking time to 15-16 minutes.
