Loading...My mother used to make these in the 60’s. I believe she added raisins. We used to really enjoy them, and I was amazed that they could sit in the frig for 5-6 weeks, although I don’t think that ever happened!

Oh, yes! These were very popular back in the day, and delicious. Am thinking that the raisins were added when baking them? Could that possibly be right, and if so, how could you do it without mixing the dough?? Maybe just sprinkle some raisins on top.
But, yes, I remember there being raisins in them, too! Sometimes nuts, too.

Hi Pete! There are dozens of recipes out there for these muffins, and if I remember, she added the raisins when she made them. I remember her using two kinds of cereal so that is why I choose this recipe. Check out the attribution link, I think you will enjoy all the recipes!
