Raisin Bran Muffins I Made It Ii

Raisin Bran Muffins

I had a box of Raisin Bran cereal that my DH bought but had no intention of eating so I thought to myself ... self, make some muffins. I had all the ingredients for this recipe too so it was a given. The recipe is noted several times on this site and it is very good and very easy to make. I significantly reduced the sugar too (only used 1 1/4 c.) and they are still great!!

My husband LOVES raisin bran, so I know he would love these too! I used to not like raisins, but I haven't had them in so long that I'm not sure anymore lol. I had golden raisins about 4 years ago in some picadillo and didn't even taste them, so who knows! Awesome picture!!!

My husband loves raisin bran also, and those muffins look delicious. I would cut the sugar back also.
Lovely photo Linda

Beautiful photo, Linda! Did you make the full recipe or halve it? I really like the idea of keeping the batter to bake as needed. I don't really like raisins, so never buy Raisin Bran. Maybe Bran Flakes would work??

Hmmm...just noticed that some of the recipes say the batter keeps 3 weeks in the fridge and others say 6 weeks.

Thanks everyone!
I made the full amount because I wanted to use the box of cereal up. I make jumbo muffins and even though I'm not a big fan of raisins I do like them in some things. I believe the original recipe that's out there says 6 weeks but someone changed it to 3.
I'm sure if you got bran flakes Bakerme they would work just fine and if you want add your own chopped up dried fruit.

Thanks, Linda. I've never bought Bran Flakes, but just added them to the list for my next grocery run in a few weeks.

Taste your batter and add sugar to your taste. Bran flakes won't be as sweet as Raisin Bran cereal so you may prefer more sugar than the cup and a quarter I used.

Ooh, these look good! I've been on a raisin bran kick lately so I know I'd love these! Delicious photo Linda! :)
At the Bakery we kept our banana bread batter and many other muffin type batters in the walk-in fridge. It probably never lasted more than a week before baking it though. But as long as it's in an air tight container in the coldest part of the fridge it would last at least 3 weeks, probably 6 with this recipe since it has shortening and buttermilk. :)
