Awesome Bran Muffins
Make these for breakfast, and pop the extra in your children’s lunch box!
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Fill 24 muffin pans with muffin liners. Spray muffin
liners with vegetable spray. In large bowl, pour boiling water over 1 cup bran and let
stand. Add 1⁄2 cup margarine to bran/boiling water mixture. Stir in buttermilk, eggs,
sugars and additional bran. In large bowl, sift together dry ingredients: all-purpose
flour, baking soda, and salt. Add chopped dried fruit and stir.
Combine with wet ingredients and stir only until dry ingredients are moist. Mixture
should be lumpy. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle coarse sugar on tops.
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pan and place on rack to
cool. Makes 24 of the best bran muffins you’ve ever tasted!
