* Finely chopped pitted dates may be substituted
to get Date Muffins.
Mix cereal and milk. Let stand a few minutes until most of the
milk is
absorbed. Grease 12 2 1/2-inch muffin cups. Heat oven to 400
degrees F.
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.
