How to Make One Week Bran Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line an 18-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Stir in 1 ½ cups bran cereal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in ½ cup dried currants (or your choice of dried fruit).
Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 week. (The batter will thicken as it chills.)
Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
