Bran Muffins

Now here's a recipe that really gets thing moooooving..... I'm serious, if you EVER have constipation problems, this one's for you (currently my 3 year old). And if not, try it anyway- these are amazing. My kids gobbled them up. They didn't even wait for them to cool off.

Refrigerator Bran Muffins

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter-flavored Crisco (or 1/4 cup crisco and 1/4 cup butter)

2 eggs

2 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 tsp baking soda

2 cups buttermilk (2 Tbsp vinegar with 2 cups milk)

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup boiling water

1 cup Bran Flakes cereal

2 cups Kellogg's All Bran cereal

Mix together sugar, shortening, eggs, soda, flour, buttermilk and salt until smooth. Meanwhile, pour boiling water over Bran Flakes and All Bran. Let stand until absorbed. Fold cereal mixture into batter and DO NOT stir. Pour into greased muffin pan (don't use liners), filling 3/4 full. Bake at 400 deegrees for 15 minutes. You can also cover and store these in the fridge. They will keep for up to 5 weeks. When ready to use, dip batter from container WITHOUT stirring.

These really are amazing. I make a ton, and keep the batter in my fridge. Warm muffins every morning, yuuuum! Remember to keep some air freshner close by!
