SWEET BRAN MUFFINS
In a medium sauce pan bring 2 c. water to a boil.
Add 2 c. 100% bran cereal and remove from heat. Let cereal soak up water.
In a mixer cream together 3 c. sugar, and 1 c. veggie oil. Add 1 quart buttermilk, 4 eggs, and hot bran (soaking). Mix in 5 c. flour, 5 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt. Mix well.
Add 4 c. all bran.
Bake in greased muffin tins (or use paper cups) at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
***This recipe makes enough to fill 4 one quart jars. Each quart makes roughly one dozen muffins. Can freeze dough in air tight container and use later.
*If you like fruit in your muffins add to batter before cooking. Fresh or dry would be best as frozen will change the consistancy.
I am so glad to know this dough freezes well! I have occasionally made a VERY similar recipe for years (sorry I never shared it), and I refrigerated the dough, but the last batch was never as good as the first--I'm sure freezing it solves that problem.
