Megan's Healthy Maple and Brown Sugar Muffins

I have been wanting to make these muffins ever since I saw where Megan had made them. The only problem is there here in Knoxville, you can't find the Malt O Meal hot wheat cereal. The closest thing that I could find was Quaker instant hot wheat cereal. I decided that I would give it a try with the instant.

These muffins took no time to whip up and put into the oven. The verdict? My muffins didn't rise. They puffed up just a little. This could be because I used the instant cereal or because I baked these at 350 degrees instead of 450. My oven tends to bake hotter than it should. They tasted good, but I would like to try them with the malt o meal cereal to compare. These are definitely a dense, stick to your rib muffin, as Megan had said.

Maple and Brown Sugar Magic Muffins
Adapted from Malt O Meal

1 1/4 whole wheat flour
1 cup Maple and Brown Sugar flavored Malt O Meal hot wheat cereal, dry
1/3 cup Splenda or sugar

1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 TBSP baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all ingredients till just moistened. Pour into greased muffin pan.

Your muffins look and sound wonderful. You're right about Knoxville - it's not gorcery shopping, more like a scavenger hunt.
