Bran Muffins

This recipe is in the family cookbook from Aunt Janie, but I know some people who read the blog don't have the family cookbook. I made these yesterday and they are amazing!

2 cups All Bran Cereal (I actually used Fiber One because it was a LOT cheaper and they turned out great)

2 cups boiling water, pour over cereal and stir until cool

2 1/2 cups sugar

2 cups oil or applesauce (I used applesauce, it makes them VERY moist)

4 eggs

1 quart buttermilk

STIR and then ADD:

4 cups Bran Buds or Flakes

5 tsp. soda

5 tsp. salt

6 cups flour

Stir well. Bake muffins at 375* for 15-20 minutes, depending on oven. You can add raisins or chocolate chips to the recipe if you like. This recipe makes a ton, but the batter will keep in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. Or, you can half it, like I did. The muffins are easy and great for a quick breakfast. They will freeze well also.
