Sugar-Free Grain Muffins - Recipe

1 cup mixed-grain cereal (like baby cereal)
2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
4 tbsp. honey
pinch of salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup safflower oil

In a medium bowl, mix the cereal and water. Set aside for 20 minutes for the grains to swell. Preheat the oven to 400F. In a medium bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. In a large bowl, beat the honey, salt, egg and oil with an electric mixer. Slowly add the flour and the cereal to the honey mixture and mix well. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into each well of a muffin tin lined with baking cups. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack for an additional 25 minutes.
