Raisin Bran Muffins

My mom made these muffins while I have been home for Christmas and they are amazing!

Raisin Bran Muffins

(makes about 20 to 24 muffins)

1/2 of a 15 oz box of raisin bran cereal

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups buttermilk

In a large bowl, mix together Raisin Bran, flour, salt, sugars and baking soda.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, vanilla extract and buttermilk

Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. If you plan on baking the muffins right away, allow to sit on the counter for 45 minutes before baking. This will allow the cereal to soften.

If you'd like to bake the muffins throughout the week, place the batter in an airtight container and store in the fridge. Add some milk as needed if the batter becomes too dry. Scoop into lined muffin pans when ready to bake. Sprinkle with a spoonful of granulated sugar if desired.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
