Banana Honey Almond Flax Muffins

This is a modification of a family recipe that traditionally used walnuts. We created this recipe because we had no nuts, but did have some honey almond flax cereal. We found that we loved the substitution even more than the original. Nuts can be too crunchy, but this is much less so. It adds a delicious texture and dose of flavor to the recipe.

Ingredients

• 3-4 ripe bananas
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 small eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Sprinkle of cinnamon
• 1 cup Kashi honey almond flax cereal (break up any big clumps)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mash bananas well in a large bowl, stir in sugar and egg. Add vegetable oil and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix well.
4. Combine wet ingredients, dry ingredients and about half the cereal Stir until flour just disappears.
5. Stir together melted butter, cereal, and brown sugar and use it to top the muffins. You could double the topping if you like a lot. It can be good to leave at least one muffin untopped to watch doneness in the oven.
6. Makes about 12 muffin cups. I start checking the oven after 18 minutes. I like to remove them when the untopped muffin is golden on top but before it start to turn brown.
