How to Make Mormon Muffins

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Stir until completely dissolved and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup shortening and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup bran cereal, and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups ¾ full.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before serving with honey butter. Enjoy!
