Time 31m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Raisin Bran
1 cup milk
1 large egg ((beaten, at room temperature) )
1/4 cup unsalted butter ((melted and cooled - or use cooking oil))
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a muffin tin with paper muffin liners or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the cooled, melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix the ingredients just enough to incorporate the dry flour into the wet ingredients.
  • Add the raisin bran cereal, stir to combine. Allow the muffin batter to sit for up to 45 minutes if you want the bran flakes to take on the moisture from the batter. *These muffins are the only time I will ever argue that soggy cereal is best!
  • Portion the muffin batter out into your prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin liner between 3/4 and full. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 16-18 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove the baked muffins and allow to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Serve warm for best results.

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!

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 old-fashioned oats for a heartier muffin.
  • Soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the batter. This will plump them up and make them more flavorful.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These raisin bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with fiber, protein, and antioxidants, and they're easy to make. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins are a great option.
