Meet the Cook: There's a deliciously different taste to these muffins, thanks to the pineapple juice and raisins they contain. We have them for breakfast, lunch and snacks. My husband and I enjoy gardening...I do flowers, and he does vegetables. -Pauline Rohloff, Endeavor, Wisconsin

Ingredients

2 cups pineapple juice
2 cups golden raisins
5 large eggs, beaten
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup honey
2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a small bowl, combine pineapple juice and raisins; set aside. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, oil, honey and eggs; mix well. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; stir in cereal. Add to sugar mixture and mix well. Fold in the raisin mixture (batter will be thin). Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
Stir (batter will thicken). Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

I love the flavor and texture of this muffin...it is the closest to one I had been trying to replicate from a cafe. And making the batter the night before made my morning so much easier. I made the recipe as is (just halved it and I still got more muffins than it said).

THERES ALOT OF SUGAR IN THIS RECIPE,WITH THE BROWN SUGAR AND THE HONEY,DO WE REALLY NEED ALL OF IT AND CAN YOU USE SPLENDA OR UNSWEENTENED APPLESAUCE IN INSTEAD AS A SUBSTITUTE?-VERY NICE BUT SWEET,ALSO HOW WOULD THE NUTRITIONAL BREAKDOWN BE WITH YOUR RECIPE WITH YOUR SUGAR AND HONEY AMOUNTS. YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT IN THE NUTRITIONAL FACTS(THE SUGAR I MEAN) THANKYOU

These are great! The first time I made them I went with the recipe and the second time I didn't have enough canola oil so I used less and added a ripe banana. The were still good!
