Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 2-½ cups Kashi® Heart to Heart™ cereal, crushed*
• 1-¼ cups unbleached white flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
• ½ cup evaporated cane juice crystals (or raw sugar)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
• 1/2 cup nonfat milk (or plain soy milk)
• 2 egg whites (or equivalent egg substitute)
• ⅓ cup expeller pressed canola oil
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Combine the first five ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
4. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and stir until just combined.
5. Spoon batter evenly into lightly oiled muffin tins. For garnish, place three hearts from the Heart to Heart cereal on top of each muffin.
6. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centers of the muffins comes out clean, or about 20 minutes. Let cool and serve warm or at room temperature.

*Place Heart to Heart in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until the cereal resembles coarse flour without any large chunks. To save time, you can place the cereal in a blender or food processor and pulse into coarse flour instead.
