Recipe Instructions:
- Prepare Bran Mixture: Start by pouring boiling water over the 100% Bran in a large bowl. Allow it to soak and soften while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Cream Sugar and Shortening: In another bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening until smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Buttermilk: To the sugar and shortening mixture, add the eggs and buttermilk. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, All-Bran, and the soaked 100% Bran with water into the wet mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the Batter: Keep the batter in a large bowl covered in the refrigerator. This batter can be stored for several weeks, allowing you to bake fresh muffins whenever you desire.
- Bake Muffins: When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease muffin tins and fill each cup 2/3 full with the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. These hearty muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a satisfying snack any time of the day!
These Refrigerator Bran Muffins are not only delicious but also incredibly convenient, thanks to their ability to be stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Enjoy the wholesome goodness of homemade muffins without the hassle!
