Directions

In a bowl, combine cereals and boiling water; let stand for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk and oil. Stir the cereal and buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in the dates, raisins and walnuts. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
