Created by Kashi Read more breakfast, cooking, day of change, Heart To Heart, and recipes

Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups Kashi® Heart to Heart® Honey Toasted Oat cereal, crushed*
  • 1-¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • ½ cup evaporated cane juice crystals
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum free)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed organic bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup organic nonfat milk (or plain organic soy milk)
  • 2 organic egg whites (or equivalent egg substitute)
  • ⅓ cup expeller-pressed canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Combine the first five ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
  4. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Spoon batter evenly into lightly oiled muffin tins. For garnish, place three hearts from the Kashi® Heart to Heart® Honey Toasted Oat cereal on top of each muffin.
  6. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centers of the muffins comes out clean, or about 20 minutes. Let cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
  7. *Place Kashi® Heart to Heart® Honey Toasted Oat cereal in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until the cereal resembles coarse flour without any large chunks. To save time, you can place the cereal in a blender or food processor and pulse into coarse flour instead.

    Hey, could we substitute some applesauce for any of the oil?

    And I normally use really ripe bananas, is it possible to down the sugar a little bit?

    Muffins were great – very tender and moist! Not at all what I expected. Definitely worth it.

    This recipe was really good- I made some substitutions too:
    1 apple peeled and chopped instead of a banana
    1/2 cup instant oatmeal instead of cereal
    1/3 cup apple sauce instead of oil
    + added cinnamon to my taste

    good twist on a great recipe!

    I use Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal; I use all the crumbs leftover for muffins. I use 2 percent milk and 2 small eggs for my version. I often add chopped walnuts to it as well. Very tasty and it uses all the crumbs leftover; no waste!

    I haven’t eaten them yet, since they’re cooling on the rack but they smell WONDERFUL! :)
    I made some substitutions, instead of sugar I added a small cup of applesauce (from those kid packs), added chopped walnuts, instead of cereal I added instant apple oatmeal, vanilla soymilk instead of milk. Mmmm I can’t wait to try them!

    I made these and they were gone within 1 day. They were soooo good, very moist and a perfect texture. I’d leave the cereal off the top though. It’s decorative, but they get soggy when the muffins sit for a while. This one is definitely going in my recipe book to make again!
