Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and line a muffin tin with paper muffin liners or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients, including 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the cooled, melted ¼ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Mix the ingredients just enough to incorporate the dry flour into the wet ingredients.
Add the 2 cups Raisin Bran cereal, stir to combine. Allow the muffin batter to sit for up to 45 minutes if you want the bran flakes to take on the moisture from the batter. *These muffins are the only time I will ever argue that soggy cereal is best!
Portion the muffin batter out into your prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin liner between ¾ and full. Bake at 350℉ (175℃) for 16-18 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the baked muffins and allow to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Serve warm for best results.

Baking Fresh Muffins Daily
Your mixed raisin bran muffin batter can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Portion out the batter into a mug or ramekin and microwave for 1 minute to make your muffins fresh each day!
