I make these muffins all the time, they are so delicious and so healthy because they take advantage of a multigrain cereal mix, like this one. I prefer to find a mix with flaxseeds, but any mix will work. You can add blueberries as I do or swap them for strawberries, apples and cinnamon, or even simply chocolate chips.

I made these today with 1 cup of oats and 1/2 cup of grond flax seed instead of the cereal and I used chocolate chips. They were a big hit with the kids.
Sorry, I have had trouble explaining this ingredient in the past. I use a dried hot cereal, like oats, but instead a mixed grain one. Sometimes I just use a mix of oats and flax seeds. I really like Roman Meal Original with oats, but I can’t get it on the East Coast so I usually by one of the Bob’s Red Mill grain mixes.
what multi grain cereal do you recommend. You mentioned hot meaning that you cook the cereal and then add it to rest of ingredients to make muffins?
