Method:

1. In a medium bowl combine flour, cereal, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.

2. In another medium bowl combine egg, milk, honey, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).

3. Fold in raisins or dried fruit. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

4. To bake, gently stir batter. Grease desired number of 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or line with paper bake cups. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full.

5. Bake in a 400°C oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack 5 minutes.

6. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.
