• Light and fluffy texture
• Bright citrus flavor from fresh orange zest
• Naturally sweet blueberry flavor from cereal
• Quick one-bowl batter
• Ready in about 30 minutes
Ingredients 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg ¾ cup milk ¼ cup melted butter (or neutral oil) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 cup Post Great Grains Blueberry Nut Crunch cereal Optional but recommended for bakery-style muffins: ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping
Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups. 2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt
3. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, whisk together: egg, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, orange zest.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir gently just until combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy. 5. Fold in cereal and optional blueberries. Let the batter rest 3–4 minutes so the cereal softens slightly. This helps create a more tender muffin texture. 6. Fill muffin cups - Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the tops lightly with coarse sugar for a bakery-style finish. 7. Bake 16–18 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm. Recipe Yield: 12 muffins
