Banana-Raisin Muffins

Banana-Raisin Muffins
Recipe Tip
Iron it Out
Foods made with fortified breakfast cereal contain a good source of iron. Iron helps build red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body. Choose whole-grain cereals for breakfast or as a quick snack.
Success
When making muffins, only the bottoms of the pan are greased or sprayed with cooking spray so that the batter doesn't form a "lip" (overhanging or hard, dry edges) during baking.
How-To
Brown bananas? Toss them, unpeeled, into the freezer. They'll be ready when you need them for any recipe using mashed bananas. Simply thaw and mash.
Whole grains to go? Turn whole-grain cereal and fruit into scrumptious muffins for a nutritious breakfast on the move! From eatbetteramerica.
