REFRIGERATOR BRAN MUFFINS 
2 cups All-Bran Cereal
2 cups yogurt or buttermilk
3/4 cup cooking oil
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 cups unsifted all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

In a large mixing bowl, combine cereal, buttermilk and oil. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, or until cereal has softened.

Beat in brown sugar and eggs. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.

Store batter in an airtight container until ready to use. May be stored for up to 2 weeks.

Makes about 36 muffins.

Microwave Directions: Spoon batter into greased silicone baking cups. Bake 6 muffins at a time until center is no longer doughy and is cooked through (2-3 minutes, but this varies according to the microwave being used - you may need to adjust in your oven). One muffin will take a minute or less to bake.

Conventional Oven Directions: Bake in greased or paper-lined (or silicone) muffin cups filling 2/3 full in a preheated 375F oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (about 25 minutes).

Cooks Note: If baking in a conventional oven, 1 tsp. vanilla may be added to batter, if desired. (Vanilla doesn't bake off in the microwave - if you like a vanilla flavor and are using a microwave, use vanilla flavored yogurt.

Refrigerator Bran Muffins

 Maryann (Virginia) says:
These were delicious and moist. Can freeze and thaw briefly in microwave on 50% power or toss frozen into lunch bag. But the recipe only makes 18 to 20 normal size muffins not 36.

I meant to say it doesn't make 36 if you don't use cupcake papers. Makes more like 18-20.

With the vanilla added, this was the best all-bran muffin recipe I've ever tried. However, watch it closely! At 375°F, in my gas oven, each batch was ready in 13 minutes, not 25!!!!
