Granola Muffins

This week's Recipe Challenge choice comes from an old standby. I used my aunt's homemade Golden Raisin Granola in the recipe and tried the new silicon muffin cups from my sister-in-law. These muffins were incredibly tasty and the muffin cups worked great, as long as we let them cool enough first. The only change I made in the recipe had to do with the baking mix they recommended. The recipe calls for "reduced fat" baking mix, and I just had regular. So, regular fat-filled granola muffins is what we ate!

1 1/2 C reduced fat biscuit and baking mix
1 C firmly packed brown sugar
1 t ground cinnamon
1 C oat granola
1/2 C raisins (I used golden.)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup skim milk
1 T vegetable oil
vegetable cooking spray (or silicon baking cups)

Combine first three ingredients in bowl; stir in cereal and raisins. Set aside.

Combine egg, milk, and oil; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Makes a thin batter.

Coat muffin cups with cooking spray( do not spray silicon cups); spoon batter into cups, filling 3/4 full.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden. Yields about 16 muffins.
