Then add the almond milk, sugar, egg, baking powder, and cinnamon and blend together to give smooth and sloppy mixture similar to pancakes.

Step 2 Tip the mixture into a large bowl and gently stir in the blueberries & cranberries until mixed through. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cases. You will have some leftover. You can either add to another muffin tin or discard the last little bit. More details are in the recipe card below.

Once you’ve had some fun with this recipe, join me in another Quaker activity you may remember: the Quaker Good Call Challenge!

Quaker believes life’s circumstances should never be a barrier to good nutrition, so they’ve committed to donating $125,000 to Feeding America® this year to help families facing food insecurity across the country. This will help secure at least 1.25 million meals*! They’re also encouraging us all to get involved by joining the Challenge. It’s a simple way we can help give back this holiday season!

All you have to do is look for spare change around your home, collect it in an empty canister or container (like after you’ve enjoyed your Quaker Oats!), and take it to a participating Coinstar kiosk location (excludes NY, SD, VT) by December 31, selecting Feeding America to submit your donation. I hope you’ll join me in taking the Challenge!

*The monetary equivalent of meals will be donated. $1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks. Quaker has committed $125,000.00. Valid: October 20 – December 31, 2021.
