The early morning smell of fresh baked muffins is a great start to the day, especially during deep winter when snow and frigid cold lurk outdoors.  Here’s a recipe that’s been in our family for years.  Mix it up in advance.  The original recipe says the batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks but in our household it’s never lasted that long.

REFRIGERATED BRAN MUFFINS

In a large bowl, combine the following ingredients:

• 1 (15-oz.) box Raisin Bran Flakes
• 5 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2-1/2 teaspoons salt

Mix well with large mixing spoon then add:

• 4 cups milk mixed with
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 4 beaten eggs

Mix well again.  Store covered in refrigerator and use batter as needed.

When ready to bake, fill muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake in pre-heated oven at 400° for 15 to 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
