High Fibre Multi-Grain Muffins

Here’s an easy way to get Red River Cereal into your diet.  I found this recipe in the Courier Weekend earlier this month, and after making them at home, decided they were worth sharing.  They are a tender, light muffin with a good taste.

1 cup water

1/4 cup Red River Cereal

1 egg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cups oatmeal

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 400.  Bring water and Red River Cereal to a boil in small saucepan.  Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened.  Cool for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine egg, oil, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla.  Add cooked cereal.  Add remaining dry ingredients and stir until blended.

Place in prepared muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.  Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then cool on wire rack.
