MOM'S BRAN MUFFINS



Mom's Bran Muffins image

A muffin lovers dream... delicious, healthy, kid and picky-eater approved and friendly help for regularity.

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.

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!

Provided by CongoGirl

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe bananas: Overripe bananas will yield the best flavor and texture in your muffins.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent large chunks of banana from appearing in the finished muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help to ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a tender interior.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing: This will help to preserve their texture and flavor.

Conclusion:

These Mom's Bran Muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with fiber, protein, and other nutrients, and they are also low in sugar and calories. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast option or a healthy snack, these muffins are a great choice. .
