Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400, and line 6 cups of a muffin pan with paper liners.
In a small bowl, combine the cereal, yogurt and melted butter. Stir together very well, and let the cereal soak while you prepare the muffins.
Next, whisk together the flours, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar.
To the cereal mixture, stir in the egg and honey. Finally, stir in the dry ingredients.
Divide the batter between the muffin cups and bake for 18-22 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 1 minute, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
