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.

A new favorite in the making

I cannot get enough

Trust me once you start making these muffins you will keep making them. As soon as I get through one batch I make another ASAP…there is always some bran muffin batter in the fridge. Don’t forget I am OBSESSED with these muffins!!

i love bran muffins but i can not have dairy anymore. so i used coconut milk. it was all right and better than none at all. i have found a dairy free half and half. its richer than coconut milk so will try and make these this weekend. but these are really good!!!! even without the buttermilk.

I didn’t care for this recipe. The molasses was too strong to strong for my taste.

We love it! The molasses sets these apart from the rest. We always have these made up or in the freezer. Adding pecans to the mix and a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon on the top works for us. I only make 1/2 recipe since its only for the two of us.

Does anyone have suggestions for high altitude alterations? I just mixed up this huge bowl of batter but neglected to think about necessary alterations for high altitude! Any suggestions are appreciated.
