Ingredients

2 large eggs
½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (235g) room temperature sour cream
2 cups (248g) all purpose flour
2 cups (72g) Fruity Pebbles Cereal plus more for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin pans with liners.
Using a hand mixer, mix eggs in a large bowl 1-2 minutes until thick and frothy. Mix in sugar and oil, beat until creamy. Mix vanilla, vinegar, baking soda, and salt. Mix in sour cream then stir in flour using a wooden spoon. (Batter may be slightly lumpy.) Stir in fruity pebbles.
Scoop into liners. I use about 1/4 cup of batter (it helps to use an ice cream scoop). Sprinkle each muffin with a bit of cereal for garnish.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Check them at 15 minutes to guage the remaining time.
Cool slightly before eating. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.

Notes

Always be sure to use fresh baking soda - not expired.

Make sure your sour cream is at room temperature to ensure your muffins turn out soft and fluffy.

Don't overmix muffins!

Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

Variations:

1 cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or a mix
