Honey Bunches of Oaty Muffins are a playful twist on the usual bran cereal muffins, this time with an oat cereal.
Honey Bunches of Oaty Muffins
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Honey Bunches of Oaty Muffins is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Muffin Monday. We get together with Stacy Rushton on the last Monday of the month.
Then we share whatever we have been baking.
I’ve been staring down some breakfast cereals I had when my daughter was staying with us. She loves cereal so we bought extra on sale. You know, the five boxes kind of sale?
Then she moved back to Columbus and the cereal remained. I forgot to send some with her. And with me and Bill, the cereal progress slowed.
So why not bake it up the same way I bake bran muffins? Hey. Great idea.
And there they are. I daresay bran muffins never looked so good. And it finished up that box of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. I love it when my frugal ideas turn into something fantastic.
Try these muffins and see for yourself. Your half-empty boxes of cereal are yearning to be free…
