30-Day Bran Muffins

Ingredients:
4 cups All-Bran cereal
2 cups boiling water
1 cup margarine
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 quart buttermilk
5 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour
2 cups Bran Flakes cereal

Directions:
Pour boiling water over All-Bran cereal and let sit. Cream margarine and sugar; add eggs then dry ingredients alternating with buttermilk. Mix in All-Bran and water mixture. Last of all, stir in Bran Flakes. This batter stores in the fridge for 30 days and makes dozens of muffins! Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes in greased or paper-lined muffin tins.

Notes:
If you would like raisins in the muffins, either replace the 4 cups of All-Bran OR the 2 cups of Bran Flakes with Raisin Bran, or follow as prescribed and add a 1/2 cup or so of plain raisins. They aren't terribly healthy with all the butter and sugar, but very yummy!
