Refrigerator Bran Muffins

Ok so I have an obsession I need to let everybody know about.  I am obsessed with these Refrigerator Bran Muffins!!  I mean OBSESSED!!

Just let it chill

One of the best parts about this recipe is the fact that once you make it and then let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.  The recipe makes a lot of batter.  I mean a TON of batter meaning you can have warm muffins anytime you want.

And I do mean ANYTIME.  I have been known to make a few of them at 9:00 at night, just because I want one…remember I told you I am OBSESSED.

Little or Big?

It is always a battle in the house whether I am going to make mini muffins (my favorite) or big muffins (my dad’s favorite).  Typically I win…I mean just look at how cute they are.  They are so little, fluffy and YUMMY.

If you like big muffins, make sure to extend the baking time to about 15 minutes, just make sure to not over bake them.  Trust me you do not want a dry muffin.

Let’s talk about the bran

Please don’t let bran in the name scare you.  These muffins are full of flavor, a little sweet but not gritty.  They have a hint of molasses in each bite, which is one of my favorite things about these muffins.  

If you wanted to add another texture you could add in pecans or walnuts.  You could also add in coconut or even some shredded carrots for extra good for you stuffs.  Maybe even some fruit, like dried cranberries or dried cherries.  Make them perfect for your family.
