I stumbled upon this recipe online. After doing an inventory of the pantry, I was missing a particular ingredient so I substituted. I also reduced the sugar by 1/3 of the original recommendation and added a healthy handful of raisins. Furthermore, instead of canola oil, I replaced it with rice bran oil, which is way higher in Omega 3. 

So here goes:

Yield: 36 mini muffins.

2 c. All Bran cereal or raisin bran cereal
1 healthy handful of raisins - if not using raisin bran
1/2  c. sugar
1 1/4 c. all purpose flour - may use spelt flour as alternative
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp.  sea salt
1/4 c. rice bran oil
1 large egg
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. fresh blueberries - you may use frozen if necessary

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Grease the muffin tins or line them with mini paper cups (if using silicone, you can bypass this step). 
  3. Toss cereal, raisins, sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk oil, egg, and buttermilk. Add buttermilk mixture to cereal mixture and stir just until it is blended. Gently stir in blueberries - so they don't break too much. 
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes - till the tested inserted into the muffin comes out clean. 
  6. Enjoy.
