A friend of the family, Brenda, gave this recipe to my mom when I was in Kindergarten. So, I’ve been enjoying these for over 30 years now. My mom not only passed down the recipe, but she also taught me that time is valuable. These muffins free up some of that time. How is that? Well, once the muffin mix is made, it can be kept up to six weeks!! Fabulous, I know. So, you can simply bake up a half dozen or a dozen when you expect a busier week than usual and you have a delicious bran muffin ready to grab on the go or when you’re in a hurry. Plus, minimal dishes! Score! I’ve even set my ovens timer in the evening to turn on and warm up before I head downstairs in the morning — pop a few in the oven and in 15 minutes, breakfast is served! How is that for time saving and simplicity? Enjoy!
Ingredients
15 oz Raisin Bran
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
3 cups sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 qt. buttermilk
5 cups flour
5 tsp. soda
2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients together. Add eggs, butter and buttermilk. Store covered container in refrigerator. Keep for up to six weeks. It's recommended that it sit overnight before baking.
- Fill muffin tins 2/3 full.
- Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Yields approximately 40 muffins.
For these muffins, I tried the Land O’Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil. It was a healthier choice and has no artificial ingredients. It actually only has three ingredients: sweet cream, canola oil and salt. Even all of you mommy’s can feel good about serving it your families!! I loved it, and I loved that it was spreadable right out of the fridge, which is convenient when you’re in a hurry or to impatient to wait {giggle}. Anywho, it was an easy choice for me, as Land O’Lakes is a brand I trust and {love}.
Bran muffins and Land O’Lakes. Delicious!
What are you waiting for? I’m warming up my oven right now…

About Kelly Rowe
Those sound so delicious! I am usually really good at having a breakfast on hand I can take with me on my way out of the door but have fallen down on that job recently. I’ve had way too many veggie sandwiches from Starbucks in the last two weeks than I would care to admit. I’m adding these muffins to my “must make” list!
Thanks, Shannah! They are delicious… I love them straight out of the over. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. xo
Yum! I love muffins of any and all varieties, but bran are def. in my top 10. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Kelly. I’m sure it must be yummy if you’ve kept that recipe around for so long. Happy breakfasting!
The title kinda threw me for a minute, but what a great idea! I love that they keep that long. Bran muffins are my favourite, and they are the best with raisins. Thanks for sharing! Pinning this recipe.
