Whole Wheat Peanut Butter & Jelly Cereal Muffins
Have you guys heard about the Attune recipe contest yet? This month, for October, the challenge is to create a “treat” recipe using one of the cereals listed on the contest page. I’m one of the judges and I can’t wait to see what you all come up with! The October Cooking Challenge is accepting recipes until Thursday, so turn yours in today. In honor of the contest this month, I thought it would be fun to create my own treat recipe using an Attune Foods cereal.
I used Erewhon Rice Twice cereal to create some delicious Whole Wheat Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins for a brunch party I hosted a couple weeks ago. They came out just as yummy as I’d hoped – a rich peanut buttery flavor with a burst of jam when you bite into them. Perfect.
Whole Wheat Peanut Butter & Jelly Cereal Muffins
Makes a dozen muffins
Ingredients:
§ 2 cups Erewhon Rice Twice cereal
§ 1 & ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
§ ½ cup sugar
§ 1 teaspoon baking powder
§ ½ tsp baking soda
§ 1 cup skim/lowfat milk (or dairy free substitute)
§ 1/3 cup peanut butter
§ 1 Tablespoon olive oil
§ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
§ 1 egg
§ 12 teaspoons jam (any flavor – I used strawberry)
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 350.
2) In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (cereal, flour, sugar, baking powder & soda). In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients, except for jelly.
3) Add wet ingredients to dry, mixing lightly until uniform.
4) In a cooking sprayed or greased muffin tin, fill each cup about half way with batter. Place a teaspoon of jam in each cup, then cover the jelly with the second half of the batter.
5) Bake 20 minutes; fork check to make sure they are done.
This recipe was a big hit at my brunch party – and the leftovers were perfect for early a.m. pre-workout snacks, and afternoon snacks, too! I’ll definitely be putting this recipe on the list to make again very soon.
Enjoy.

I love PB&J muffins! These look amazing Anne. The use of cereal in them is genius.

These were delicious. I had to use rice krispies, but I’m sure they had the same effect. Thanks for the great healthy recipe!

Would these work without the cereal? Or is there something that the cereal can be replaced with?
