Perhaps a wee bit braggy, but they are delicious, and soo good for you; given all the bran used.
You will need a huge bowl.
2 Sticks butter, softened
2 Cups sugar
4 eggs
1 qt buttermilk
5 C AP flour
5 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 C Bran Buds..I used Kellogg’s
2C boiling water
4C Fiber one cereal
1 box golden raisins lightly floured (so they won’t stick together)
Pour 2C boiling water on 2C bran buds; stir in and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs.
Mix flour, soda, salt in separate large bowl.
I added the bran bud mixture to the sugar/butter mixture, and added some buttermilk.
My Kitchenaid stand mixer bowl is not large enough to hold the entire batch, so I poured it into the flour, adding the remainder of the buttermilk and any Fiber One left. Mix well.
Bake in muffin cups at 400° for 18 minutes. I greased the bottoms of the cups with shortening. Fill at least half way.
Batter will keep 6 weeks in fridge..yes, it will.
These fiber rich muffins will make your next day trip to the porcelain idol, smooth sailing…you know what I mean by ‘smooth sailing’?
The original recipe calls for Nabisco bran buds…Nabisco does not make that any more.
