Refrigerator Buttermilk Bran Muffins image

This recipe came from my Canadian Living Cookbook.I have made these muffins for years and my family loves them and they're good for you. You can store the batter in the fridge for up to two weeks and make fresh muffins anytime you want. Use any bran cereal that is labelled all-bran or 100% bran; do not use bran flakes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins came out really dense and heavy.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra buttermilk next time.

I was surprised at how moist these muffins were, considering they don't have any oil or butter.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover buttermilk. They're also a good source of fiber and protein.

These muffins were a hit! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the buttermilk. I added some chopped walnuts and raisins for extra texture and flavor.
