Ingredients

  • cups bran flakes
  • cups kellogs all-bran cereal
  • cups boiling water
  • 2 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • cup shortening
  • 4 egg, beaten
  • quart buttermilk
  • cups flour, not sifted
  • teaspoons baking soda
  • teaspoon salt
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Pour boiling water over Bran cereal and cool. Cream together sugar and shortening in a large bowl, then add the remainder of ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, depending on the size of your muffins it may take longer. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 month. If you like you can add additional ingredients - I like to add Dates, and sometimes some Walnuts. A friend of mine recently suggested using boiling Apple Juice in place of the water for a different flavor, I plan on trying that the next time I make the batter. You could also add Raisins, Cinnamon, Chocolate Chips, Dried Cranberrys - whatever your taste is. I also like these muffins cold better than hot. I am not sure just how many muffins can come out of this recipe, but it makes quite alot.

    Tried this to compare to Butter Bud Bran Muffins- no comparison. Butter Bud is much better and healthier. I think the shortening in this defeats the healthy goal of a bran muffin. Flavor was just not there either. Would not make again.
