Directions

*Preheat your oven to 380 degrees. (You’ll be increasing to 400 after putting the muffins in the oven. An Alton Brown trick that I love!) *Line a 12-cup muffin tin with papers liners or grease heavily. *Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cereal. Toss. *Add the milk and let sit for 3 minutes. *Stir in the egg, applesauce, sugar, and oil. Stir until just moistened. *I use a 1/3 measuring cup and it seems to fill each muffin perfectly. I get exactly 12 with no leftover batter. *I always, always, always, put a cookie sheet under my muffin tin. It keeps the muffins from burning on the bottom and provides a more even heat. Place the muffins into the oven and crank the heat to 400 degrees. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
