I tried this recipe, but I think the Red River Cereal should be soaked, or cooked before putting into muffins.....they are crunchy otherwise.

I've made these muffins numerous times now, and I agree with Cathie. I do soak the cereal before adding to the recipe. My modification is: 1 cup water to 1 cup red river cereal, soak until all the water is absorbed and then add to the wet ingredients. I then follow the rest of the recipe. I also change the berries to whatever fruit I have on hand - today I added fresh figs.

I disagree about soaking the cereal. I find the more robust texture appealing and similar to corn meal muffins.
