One Bowl Cheerios Muffins

Modified: Jul 2, 2019 · Published: Oct 16, 2007 by Anna · This post may contain affiliate links · 7 Comments

Cheerios Muffins will make your house smell like fall! They're quick and delicious and can be made with or without the cinnamon chips.

Cheerios Muffins

One Bowl Cheerios Muffins

1 large egg
1 ½ cups low-fat yogurt (not non-fat)
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
⅔ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 ½ cups Cheerios
Optional: cinnamon chips – sprinkle on top or add ¼ cup to batter (more or less)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg, yogurt, oil and vanilla. Add brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Whisk in cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Put down the whisk and with a mixing spoon or heavy duty scraper, gently stir in the flour, stirring only until flour is moist – batter will be lumpy. Stir in the Cheerios (or other cereal). For sweeter muffins, add about ¼ cup of cinnamon chips to batter.

Spoon or carefully pour the batter into the muffin cups, dividing evenly among all 12. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon chips.

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes or until muffins appear set. Sprinkle tops with a few more cinnamon chips while hot.

Set on wire rack to cool slightly. Remove from muffin pan.

Makes 12

    I made these this morning and they were super yummy! I used multigrain cheerios cause that's what I had in the house and it worked fine except that some of the darkest cheerios didn't "dissolve" all the way - little chunks left. Also - I can't find cinnamon chips up here in Canada so I just used butterscotch chips. I'll have to add cinnamon chips to my shopping list next time we head for Buffalo!

    Hi Isabelle!

    Thanks for being brave and trying the recipe without oil. Now we know that leaving the oil out makes chewy muffins. Oil is pretty crucial here, I suppose. One might be able to cut it down to 3 tablespoons or something like that, but leaving it out entirely throws off the balance. Another thing that *might* work is using prune puree instead of oil.

    Hi,

    I just baked those muffins. However, our house seemed to be out of yogurt so I used drinkable yogurt.Since it was much more liquid, I only used 200ml of drinkable yogurt and no oil. The texture turned out interesting (surprisingly soft), although it was much more on the chewy side then on the moist. The cinnamon flavour overpowered the cheerios. I'd say that this recipe would be best for a simply plain cinnamon muffin.
