OH MY GOSH GUYS!!
I’m sorry Justin Beiber fans out there, I couldn’t resist this hilarity.
All I can say is that my tastebuds are in utter shock right now.
These are my ULTIMATE new favorite snack. For realz my friends.
It incorporates my favorite things:
1. Pumpkin
2. Hi Lo cereal
3. Protein
4. Pumpkin
I adapted the recipe from THIs–using pumpkin instead of banana since I didn’t have any. I DO wanna try banana in the future though!
SO. FREAKIN. GOOD. (and easy peasy)
~HI-LO PUMPKIN MUFFINS~
Ingredients:
2 cups Hi Lo cereal (or another cereal)
2/3 cup milk (regular, soy, almond, rice etc)
1 and 1/3 cup flour (I used soy flour)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup honey (or agave nectar)
1 and 1/2 cups mashed banana pumpkin
2 egg whites
3 tbsp canola oil (I used peanut oil for more flavor)
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400*F
2. Combine all dry in a bowl, but leave 1/4 cup of the cereal set aside
3. Stir in wet ingredients until smooth and thick batter
4. Pour gloop into a nonstick muffin tin
5. Crush remaining 1/4 cup of cereal and sprinkle over mixture in each muffin cup
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until brown
7. Yields 12 protein, pumpkin-rich muffins
Your tastebuds can thank me later! 8) I really want to try it with Fiber One cereal too! I bet it’d taste marvelous.
PS–Y’all’s comments yesterday made me crack up and well up, thank you SO much for the compliments!! You have absolutely no idea how appreciative I am. Seriously I wish I could give you guys a big monster hug
Have a great weekend!!!!

Random questions:
Have you ever baked with cereal?
If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be? (me—Hugh Jackman…he’s cool and he’s nice, but most importantly he’s eye candy.)
Pumkinnnnn. LOVE IT! I would eat lunch with Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling. Can’t pick! They are both HUGE chunks of eye candy.
that justin beiber thing is hilarioussss!
Ooooh, yum! Those muffins look legit, man.
I have baked with Fiber One before. It was aiight.
Now, cookies with potato chips in them, that’s a different story.
HAHAHA That justin beiber thing just made my day.
I love protein muffins! I love all muffins honestly, but I like being able to eat them and call it the protein part of my meal. Plus they taste so good! I have baked with cereal before, but I really want to get my hands on that hi lo cereal because I also love calling cereal the protein portion of my meal!
If we’re going based on looks, I want to have a meal with Adam Levine! I love him.
umm YUMMM im soo baking them when i have a day off! I’ve never baked with cereal but I am excited to try!
And I would loove to dine with Derrick Rose because he’s fricken awesome
I love cooking with cereal, Kashi Go Lean espically. If I could eat lunch with a famous person it would have to be Lauren Connely from the Hills.
was the cereal crunchy in the muffins? i’ve baked with fiber one before (hungry girl website recipes) and i’ve had a lot of success. it’s especially good as a “bread” coating for chicken!
oh yeah, and king arthur flour website has all bran in its bran muffins!
It was sorta crunchy on the inside, but since the cereal soaked up a lot of the pumpkin it was kinda soft too! Ahh I love that hungry girl site, so many yummy recipes!!
Bahaha oh J Biebs.
I swear, I’m gonna turn orange this october with all of these pumpkin recipes…
what a good idea; the cereal!! I have not ever tried peanut oil but i bet that was great in them, too. Sounds like another winner!
Hope you’re having a great weekend girl!
Uhmmmm baking with cereal!? I’ve never tried it. I have made muddy buddies and rice crispie treats but that’s as far as my cereal expertise in baking goes. I think I eat it all before I can even think about baking with it
These muffins DID inspire me to make pumpkin oatmeal tonight though. And they were absolutely delicious!
I’ve never baked with cereal but I am FOR REALS craving a bran muffin, so perhaps I will!
That photo has me dying.
Oooooh those look great!!!
ALSO that picture of the Beibs boobs totally cracked me UP! Where the heck did ya find it? Hilarious!
Isn’t is the BEST?! I have no clue where I found that gold, I think it was some celebrity bashing site haha
ahhh those look GOOD girl!!!! love how you put cereal in them. you are so so creative!!! Hope you are doing well suga!
I’ve never baked with cereal, it sounds like a good idea though. I totally miss baking and being creative in the kitchen – maybe when things settle down in uni a bit more.
I can’t think of a celebrity I’d want to have lunch with off the top of my head, but I agree that Hugh is embodiment of eye candy
Gahh I really really err detest him…sorry! There I said it!
And these look stupendous, you are too clever m’dear
It would be rather awesome to dine with Hugh, but his appearance would distract me a whole lot and I am pretty sure I would be unable to carry a conversation with the beautiful man
Hahaha true, very true. I’d probably drool too much
Those look great! One of my favorite muffin recipes actually has cheereos and blueberries in it. Delish!
Hahah beiber. I like the looks of these muffins though! They look super hearty, just as a muffin should be
ohmygosh-I laughed SO hard when I saw that picture!! It’s so true too xP
I bet if you warmed one up and topped it with PB it’d taste amazing!!
Those muffins look amazing girl!! Did you add some peanut butter to them?
Have a great weekend!
No I haven’t yet, but I’m totally gonna do that today!!!
These muffins look awesome! I would love to dine with Jillian Michaels. Even though she is crazy with her workouts, I think she’d be great company. I’ve been listening to her podcasts lately and she cracks me up- she would be a blast! And for what it’s worth, I’m sure she’d kick my booty beforehand and work up a major appetite, and let’s be honest hunger=best sauce ever!
You’re so right, hunger does make anything taste good haha
Jillian would be super fun to dine with!
Nearly peed when I saw that photo. I mean, no lie, I love the Biebs but…….bahahhaha
And those muffins look BOMBERAMA. Mmm.
Probably Matthew Mcconaughey
YUMMY
Defs making those muffins
Wow, how do you come up with this stuff girl? Pumpkin in replace of banana!? OF COURSE
Oooh good choice
