Raisin Bran Buttermilk Muffins

[SilverSage]

Preheat oven to 375F.
Prepare a muffin pan either by buttering it or use the paper liners.

Stir together in a small bowl, and let it sit for a few minutes to soften the bran flakes:

1 1/4 cup buttermilk (I didn't have enough buttermilk, so I used sour cream for the rest.)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/3 cup corn oil (or vegetable oil)
3 cups raisin bran cereal

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda

Quickly stir the dry into the wet. Don't over-mix it!

Spoon into prepared muffins pans. Bake at 375 about 20 minutes.

I have been making these bran muffins for years!! I keep the batter in the fridge during the holidays when grand kids are always looking for sweets, they love them and so do we! Only difference in my recipe is I melt a cup of crisco instead of vegetable oil. That's what I've always done, but the vegetable oil would be easier.

Awesome SS! I wonder if you can use other types of cereal?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Something with a definite flavor would add more to the muffins, than say, Rice Krispies with a very mild flavor.
