Provided by Unknown

Yield Approx. 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Cups Kellog's Original All-Bran 'Twigs-Style' Cereal (You want the 'Twigs-Style', NOT All Bran Buds. Also the Kellog's name brand does matter. It breaks down better than Fiber One and slight flavor difference.)
2 Cups 100% Bran Flakes (Name brand does NOT matter.)
2 Cups Boiling Water
1 Cup Crisco Butter Flavored Soft Shortening (Name brand and butter flavor DOES matter.)
1 Quart Buttermilk (4 cups)
4 Eggs
3 Cups Sugar
5 Cups Flour (either white all-purpose or whole wheat flour will work)
1 Teaspoon Salt
5 Teaspoons Baking Soda

Steps:

  • Find the biggest bowl you have in your kitchen.
  • Pour Kellog's Original All-Bran Twigs and bran flakes into the bowl. Boil water and pour over the top. Immediately add the Crisco shortening so that it melts while the water is still hot. Mix until the shortening is completely melted.
  • In a separate bowl mix the buttermilk, eggs and sugar and then combine with the bran mixture.
  • Finally, add the remaining dry ingredients (i.e. flour, salt and baking soda) to the bran and mix well.
  • For best results, refrigerate batter for 24 hours (do not stir mixture after it's been refrigerated).
  • Generously spray muffin cups; fill each approximately 2/3 full (an ice cream scoop provides the perfect amount of batter). Avoid using cupcake liners because you will lose too much of the muffin.
  • Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.
  • Serve warm with butter and a cold glass of milk or hot coffee.
  • Store baked muffins in an air-tight container.

This recipe is at least 50 years old. Mom made these muffins for us, and I now make them for grandchildren. It uses basic ingredients such as molasses and wheat bran. It is a moist, light and tender muffin. I double this recipe.

MOM'S REFRIGERATOR BRAN MUFFINS



Mom's Refrigerator Bran Muffins image

This is my co-worker's recipe from her mom. The pineapple and extra raisins make them a bit different than the other recipes on this site. I think they are the best raisin bran muffins ever, and the batter keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months. I make two every morning in my toaster oven and take them with me to work. Yum!

Time 28m

Yield 48 muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 -20 ounce) box Raisin Bran cereal
3 cups sugar
5 cups flour (I use part whole wheat)
5 teaspoons baking soda
4 eggs
1 cup oil
1 quart buttermilk
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 1/2 cups raisins

Steps:

  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Add the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and pineapple and stir until mixed.
  • Mix in the additional raisins.
  • Pour into greased muffin tins (don't use liners.).
  • Bake at 400 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • The batter may be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three months. I think this recipe improves with age as the raisin bran flakes have time to soak up the liquids more.

MAMA'S MAKE-AHEAD BRAN MUFFINS



Mama's Make-Ahead Bran Muffins image

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.

Time 4h25m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups boiling water
2 cups bran cereal (such as All-Bran® Bran Buds®)
3 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups shortening
4 eggs
4 cups buttermilk
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups shredded bran cereal
2 cups raisins
5 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over Bran Buds® cereal in a medium bowl and let stand.
  • Beat sugar, shortening, and eggs together in a very large bowl that has a lid (I use a large Tupperware® bowl) with an electric mixer until creamy. Add buttermilk, followed by bran-water mixture. Add flour, shredded bran cereal, raisins, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined; do not overmix and don't stir again.
  • Let sit in the refrigerator at least 4 to 6 hours before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour muffin tins or line with paper liners.
  • Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Bran muffins are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect bran muffins every time.
