Bran Raisin Muffins (St. John's Jug Muffins) image

From Epicurious.com, January 2003, these are amazing...my all-time favorite bran muffin!!!! Credit goes to Judith Cadigan of Swarthmore, PA. You can keep the batter in the refrigerator and make a batch or a single muffin when the mood strikes... Batter keeps in an airtight container, chilled, 1 month. Baked muffins keep in an airtight container 3 days. • If you're not baking a full pan of muffins, fill empty muffin cups three-fourths full with water.

Time 50m

Yield 60 muffins, 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups all-bran cereal, 100% bran (I use All-Bran)
1 cup Raisin Bran cereal
1 cup Grape-nuts cereal
1 cup raisins
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 quart buttermilk, well shaken
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Generously butter muffin cups. (You'll need a muffin pan with 1-cup capacity muffins.).
  • Whisk together flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, then stir in oats, cereals, and raisins. Whisk together butter, buttermilk, sugars, and eggs in another bowl, then add to cereal mixture and stir until just combined. (Batter will be very thick.).
  • Spoon 1/3 cup batter into each muffin cup and bake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and cool on a rack.

I would make these muffins again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

Overall, I thought these muffins were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The muffins didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries in these muffins. They turned out great!

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover bran flakes. I always have a box of bran flakes in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I love the addition of bran to these muffins. It gives them a nice nutty flavor and makes them feel more substantial.
