Delicious Six Week Bran Muffins From Holly's Kitchen

Lately I have been talking to many friends and sharing recipes and I have had a lot of requests for a muffin recipe that I got from my friend, Holly.  These muffins are healthy and delicious and our whole household loves them!

Six Week Bran Muffins

1 20 oz box of raisin bran

1 cup butter or oil

2-3 cups brown sugar

4 eggs, beaten

1 qt buttermilk

5 cups of flour ( 2 wheat flour 1/2 cup wheat germ and 2 1/2 unbleached white flour) (or any variation you want)

5 tsp baking soda

2 tsp salt

Stir all dry ingredients together and then add liquid ingredients and beat.

(optional variation)

Add 2 tsp cinnamon

More raisins

3 medium apples chopped

cup of walnuts

(Get creative and have fun)

Cook 350 degrees for 20 minutes

If you add apples the muffins need to cook for 25 minutes

Sometimes I make them with raisins only and sometimes I make them with raisins and walnuts but our favorite is raisins, apples, and walnuts!  You really have alot of freedom with these muffins.  When I make these I let them cool and then place them into ziploc bags in the freezer. I pull out a bag and let them thaw as we want them. We eat these all month!  Delicious.

Have fun and Happy Baking!
