Date or Raisin Bran Muffins

Directions

Mix cereal and milk.

Let stand a few minutes until most of the milk is absorbed.

Grease 12 2½-inch muffin cups.

Heat oven to 400℉ (200℃).

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a medium-sized bowl.

Stir to mix well.

Add dates/raisins and nuts; toss to mix.

Add egg and oil to soaked cereal and beat well with a fork.

Pour into flour mixture and stir only until dry ingredients are moistened.

Batter will be lumpy.

Drop batter into prepared pans, filling each cup half to two- thirds full.

Bake about 30 minutes, or until browned.

Remove from pan and serve hot with butter and jelly or preserves.
