Calories 189kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 cup Kellogg's Corn Pops cereal finely ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground Corn Pops cereal, cake flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in the berries using a spatula.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each nearly to the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter or the muffins may become dense.
- Use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen, do not thaw first.
- Cake flour gives the muffins a softer crumb, but all-purpose flour may be substituted.
- Grind the cereal in a food processor or place it in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Fill the muffin liners to the top for taller muffins.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
