My mama always made these on Sunday mornings for a quick breakfast before church.  She usually used raisin bran,  but she also would save the remnants from other nonsweetened cereals (cheerios, chex, cornflakes, etc) in a sealable container and mix them together for muffins.  A great way to use up the leftovers in the bottom of the box of cereal that nobody ever eats but you hate to throw out!

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups dry cereal

1 1/4 cup milk

1 egg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup self-rising flour

1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 cup nuts, optional

Mix all ingredients in order-can also be refrigerated overnight.  Place in muffin tins and bake at 400 for 25 minutes or until done and brown. 

Suggestion:  If you split a muffin in half while it's still hot, put a big ol' blob of butter in there and wait a minute or so...when you bite into the muffin, the melted butter will run out and drip off your fingers and you will think you have died and gone on to Paradise!  Literally finger-lickin'-good. :)
