A Pail Full of Bran Muffins

A Pail Full of Bran Muffins are a classic recipe straight from Grandma’s recipe box!  Keep the batter in the fridge for up to two weeks and bake fresh muffins as you want them.

A Classic Bran Muffin Recipe

I imagine almost every family must have a classic bran muffin recipe tucked into their recipe boxes somewhere!  This recipe came from my mom’s recipe box and I can remember eating these muffins when I was a kid!  Now I make them for my family.  Everyone needs a reliable bran muffin recipe! 

Bake Delicious Muffins When You Want Them

The best thing about this recipe is that the batter can stay in your fridge for up to 2 weeks (I like to use it up within a week though).  This is great because you can bake fresh muffins whenever you want them.  You can even have a warm-straight-out-of-the-oven-batch ready for breakfast.  Bake a batch today.  Bake one tomorrow.  And the next day.  SO good. 

Bran Muffin Recipe Tips:

• Bran:  You can use bran flakes or All Bran Buds for this recipe.
• This batter will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.  Just keep it in an air tight container and use as needed.
• Stir the batter before making a new batch.  You will notice that the top of the batter may look a little dark, but that’s ok, just stir it up.
• Sometimes I leave the raisins out of the original batter and just add them right before I bake a new batch.  The raisins tend to get a bit bloated the longer they sit in the batter in the fridge.
• You can get about 36 medium sized muffins from this batter.
• Use muffin liners in your muffin tin for this recipe (I just removed them for these pictures, but I always use muffin liners).
• Once the muffins are baked, they freeze well.
