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!

Categories     Breakfast

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.

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Muffin Recipes     Bran Muffin Recipes

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 and more flavorful your muffins will be. You can also use frozen bananas. Just thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise and give them a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help them firm up and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

These bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied. They're also a good source of potassium, which is an important mineral for maintaining a healthy blood pressure. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these bran muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
