Six Week Bran Muffins

These bran muffins are a healthy, easy addition to your breakfast meal routine. The batter is good for six weeks and there is enough fiber in a muffin to keep you going for a week... pun intended. ;)

Makes 12 - 16 muffins

Ingredients

1 cup boiling water
1 cup Kellogg’s® Complete Bran
2 cups Kellogg’s® All-Bran Original
2 eggs
1 cup C&H® Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Crisco® Blends Oil
1 tablespoon La Vencedora® Mexican Vanilla Pura
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups King Arthur® All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons Bob’s Red Mill® Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt

Directions

make the batter
Add the bran flakes to a bowl and pour the boiling water over top. Set aside to soften for 5 minutes.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.

In the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla and buttermilk. Add the bran mixture to the bowl. Use the paddle attachment and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and continue to mix until just combined. Add in the All-Bran and finish mixing. The batter will be a little rough and lumpy, not all flour bits will mix in completely. It is better not to over mix the batter.

Transfer the mixture to a sealed container and refrigerate the mixture for at least 8 hours, but 24 hours is best.

bake the muffins
Prepare muffin tin by spraying with non-stick cooking spray and use a 1/3 cup measuring scoop to fill the muffin cup with batter.

Bake in the center of a pre-heated 375°F oven for 22 - 24 minutes until the tops are no longer wet. Use a toothpick to test doneness, it should come out clean.

Notes

The mixture will keep refrigerated for 6 weeks. Do Not Stir after the initial creation of the batter.
If not using a KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, use a large bowl and whisk to mix the batter.
The Kellogg’s All-Bran Original is the stick form. Do not use the “Bran Buds” version.
Even though our USA Pan® 6-Cup Muffin Pan makes 6, we only make 4 muffins at a time.
