Why Everyone Loves This Recipe
These muffins are a great way to start your day without feeling heavy. They are light, nutritious, and easy to make. You can enjoy them guilt-free because they are low in calories but still satisfying.
Directions
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Put the cereal in a plastic bag and gently crush it with a rolling pin until you have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs. In a large bowl, combine the crushed cereal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. In another bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, milk, egg whites, applesauce, raisins, and chocolate chips. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until everything is moistened—don’t overmix. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, then pop them in the oven and bake for about 18 to 22 minutes, or until they’re nice and golden on top. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a couple of minutes before moving them to a wire rack. They’re delicious warm, so enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
