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!

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.

REFRIGERATOR APPLE BRAN MUFFINS



Refrigerator Apple Bran Muffins image

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.

REFRIGERATOR RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS RECIPE - (3.6/5)



Refrigerator Raisin Bran Muffins Recipe - (3.6/5) image

Provided by Hapemom

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup sugar
2 cup buttermilk
4 1/2 cup Raisin Bran flakes
2 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix well the eggs, oil, sugar, buttermilk and Raisin Bran. Sift dry ingredients and add to cereal mixture. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Store remaining batter in a large covered container in the refrigerator. Do not stir again until ready to bake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products will give your muffins the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use cupcake liners: Cupcake liners will help your muffins bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking muffins is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and be dry inside.
  • Let the muffins cool before eating them: Let the muffins cool for at least 5 minutes before eating them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to bake delicious refrigerator bran muffins that your family and friends will love. So next time you have some leftover bran cereal, don't let it go to waste! Use it to make a batch of these muffins and enjoy a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack.
