Bran Muffins - not your Grandma's image

I got this recipe from a friend who is one of the best cook/bakers I know. I don't like Bran muffins, don't know too many people who do. When Nancy offered me one, I politely said, "No thank you!" Her husband said that's a mistake. I tried one, and oh my goodness! You can't call these Bran Muffins! I even hesitated to share...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c all bran cereal
2 c 100% bran cereal
2 c boiling water
1 qt buttermilk
1 c soft shortening or oil, (may substitute 1/2 applesauce)
3 c scant cups of sugar, (slightly less)
4 eggs, beaten
5 c flour
1 tsp salt
5 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Measure out cereal in a bowl that can handle boiling water. Pour boiling water over cereal, mix well making sure all is wet. Let set for 15 minutes.
  • 2. Add buttermilk, sugar, beaten eggs, oil, to the cereal mix. Mix well.
  • 3. Add flour, soda, salt. Mix well again.
  • 4. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours before using.
  • 5. Bake in greased muffin pans at 400* for 20-25 minutes. You can also use cupcake liners but these are so moist that most of the muffin stays in the liner when you try to eat them, grrrrr!
  • 6. The batter will keep up to 6 weeks in refrigerator. Do not mix again after first mixing.
  • 7. *PLEASE NOTE* These muffins did not rise like they normally do because I did not measure the flour correctly. The next time I make them, I will update the picture and show how they really rise nicely! Sorry.
