How to Make 6 Week Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup bran cereal, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into a covered airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 weeks.
  6. When ready to bake, fill the prepared muffin cups ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy immediately or store for a few days at room temperature (or reheat). Do not restir batter once refrigerated

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
