MAMA'S MAKE-AHEAD BRAN MUFFINS
Mama made these for decades when she was a working mother (back in the day when most mamas didn't work). These are easy, so moist, and so good. And because you make up a big batch that's kept in the refrigerator and baked just a few at a time, they are a lifesaver for busy cooks. My kids can scoop 1 or 2 into a tin and pop it in the oven in the morning for their own hot and hearty breakfast. A lovely addition to a brunch because they can be prepared ahead and baked right before serving.

BUTTERMILK BRAN MUFFINS
These bran muffins bake up moist and chewy. They're so good that my in-laws, Reed and Nancy, make a batch every couple of days for snacking. This is another recipe that shows how buttermilk works to tenderize and lighten many baked goods. Bran retains much of its natural oil and can quickly turn rancid, so always store it in the refrigerator or freezer. I like to use unprocessed sugar crystals (don't confuse this with brown sugar) to complement the bran's whole grain taste. Each muffin has over 2 grams of fiber.

- In a medium bowl, whisk the bran, flours, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, using a handheld eletric mixer set at high speed, beat the buttermilk, sugar, applesauce, egg, oil and vanilla until frothy, about two minutes. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Using a spoon, stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups. Bake unti the tops spring back when pressed gently in the center, about 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from the cups. Serve warm or cool completely on the rack.
MOM'S REFRIGERATOR BRAN MUFFINS
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!

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:
- To make buttermilk at home, stir 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar into 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour can make the muffins dry and dense.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. Overfilling can cause the muffins to overflow and make a mess.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
These buttermilk bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a tasty snack, these muffins are sure to please.
