Raisin Bran Muffins are a hearty, filling, and slightly sweet. A perfect breakfast muffin to fill bellies in the morning.
This recipe for Raisin Bran Muffins is so easy- no mixer needed and a great way to use up that last cup of cereal in the box.
The raisin bran actually soaks in the milk till soft and creates a dense and rich muffin- perfect for breakfast. This recipe makes 6 regular sized muffins and that is perfect for my family, but it is an easy recipe to double if you want more muffins.
I love to bring these to eat on the way to work, and they freeze really well too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?

Great idea to use the cereal in the muffins! We often have a little bit of Raisin Bran left in the box, now I know how to use it up!
Lisa Kerhin
I love this! Raisin Bran muffins were one of the first muffin recipes I learned to bake when I was young!
Rebekah R Hills
I'm saving this one - Raisin Bran is one of my favorite cereals, but I swear I'm the only one who will eat it and then half the box just sits in the pantry forever!

I used to make a muffin with bran cereal that we loved. Thanks for bringing back a great idea!
Ellen
I love that this is a small batch recipe! What an interesting technique to soak the cereal first. I can't wait to try it.
