BREAKFAST MUFFINS (MAKE AHEAD )
If you like fresh baked muffins in the morning, then this would be the perfect recipe for you. You can prepare the batter in your leisure and it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week and the muffins can then be cooked as you require them. Also these little beauties can be frozen for up to 2 months perfect for lunchboxes (just take them out in the morning and they will be defrosted by lunchtime) or if you like them warm, take them out of the freezer and pop them in the microwave for a short time and serve warm.

MAMA'S MAKE-AHEAD BRAN MUFFINS
Mama made these for decades when she was a working mother (back in the day when most mamas didn't work). These are easy, so moist, and so good. And because you make up a big batch that's kept in the refrigerator and baked just a few at a time, they are a lifesaver for busy cooks. My kids can scoop 1 or 2 into a tin and pop it in the oven in the morning for their own hot and hearty breakfast. A lovely addition to a brunch because they can be prepared ahead and baked right before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen blueberries work well too. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups almost to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will help them rise quickly.
- Reduce the oven temperature after 10 minutes. This will help the muffins bake through without overbrowning.
- Cool the muffins completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape.
