Cheerios® Banana-Raisin Muffins

Cheerios® Banana-Raisin Muffins
Recipe Tip
Bountiful Bananas
Bananas contain vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins—plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.
Success
Fully ripened bananas are the ones on your counter that are turning brown with some black spotsùare the ones you want to use for this recipe. They are much more flavorful and add more moistness to baked goods than bananas that are tinged green or have just turned bright yellow.
Substitution
Try cranberries in place of the raisins for a variation on flavor and color.

Tastes great and fill you up
I can't ripen my bananas fast enough! These muffins are moist, nutritious, low fat and low calorie. Paired with a fruit and 1 cup milk, I am full until lunch. My children love them as well. Easy to grab and run out the door on the way to school or snack on after school.

Muffins
I loved these muffins. They were very moist and, although small, were very filling. I only had Honey Nut Cheerios on hand, so I cut the sugar to 1/4cup.

Awesome! These were extremely moist and sweet. I used three whole bananas (probably more than the suggested amount), substituted skim milk for the buttermilk (it's what I had available), and added some chopped nuts. Yummy!
