Best Bran Muffins Make Ahead Recipes
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.

Steps:
- Pour boiling water over Bran Buds® cereal in a medium bowl and let stand.
- Beat sugar, shortening, and eggs together in a very large bowl that has a lid (I use a large Tupperware® bowl) with an electric mixer until creamy. Add buttermilk, followed by bran-water mixture. Add flour, shredded bran cereal, raisins, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined; do not overmix and don't stir again.
- Let sit in the refrigerator at least 4 to 6 hours before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour muffin tins or line with paper liners.
- Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

BRAN MUFFINS - MAKE AHEAD
These Muffins are high fiber and good for you. A good light breakfast or snack. The Batter needs to sit in Fridge 24 HOURS before using. My sister-in-law gave me this recipe. -On occasion I have substituted Ezekiel bran cereal with raisins instead of plain bran and I used lemon curd instead of orange marmalade. I have also used coconut oil in place of the veg oil, this will solidify quickly but it still turned out yummy. If you don't have buttermilk just mix 1 cup milk, 1 tsp vinegar/ or lemon juice wait 5 min. and now its buttermilk. This batter will last 30 days in fridge in case you don't need bake this all at once. My 2 year loves it when I make mini muffins that fit in her hand.
