Raisin Bran Muffins


1 cup raisin bran flakes cereal (I use a brand called Mom's Best that I purchase from my local health food store)
3/4 cup 1% milk
1 egg
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 T. agave
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oat bran
2 T. flax seeds
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup turbinado sugar (or sucanat)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees:
Combine the cereal and milk until moistened. Beat in egg, agave and coconut oil. In a separate bowl, mix flour, oat bran, flax seeds, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar. Mix the dry ingredients in with the wet only until combined. Do not over mix. Scoop batter into an oiled, 12 cup muffin pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
Optional: Add chopped pecans or walnuts, oats and raisins.
