MOM'S REFRIGERATOR BRAN MUFFINS
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!

- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and pineapple and stir until mixed.

- 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.

REFRIGERATOR APPLE BRAN MUFFINS
I made these at the request of my oldest granddaughter who likes healthy food. Even though these may be put in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, you may bake them all at once and freeze them. They are so moist and good. Very healthy as they are lower in fat than some and eggs whites are used in place of the whole eggs. They make about 24 muffins.

7 WEEK REFRIGERATOR BRAN MUFFINS
This is an old recipe from The Guild Cookbook that I got years ago. It makes the best bran muffins...The batter will get dark on top in the refrigerator but just stir it up and it will last 7 weeks. Use Kelloggs Bran Flakes, not bran buds....I use Crisco Shortening, either butter or regular. You will need 6 cups total of bran flakes.
