This recipe was designed to use oil instead of shortening or butter. It
can be doubled if the quantity isn't as much ss you want. I suspect that
you could reduce the sugar by half, but I haven't tried it.

Refrigerator Bran Muffins

2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 cups Raisin Bran cereal
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts

In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, oil, and eggs; beat well. Add
remanning ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
(If desired, muffins can be baked later. Cover tightly; refrigerate for up
to 2 weeks.)

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease muffins cups or
line with paper liners. Fill prepared muffin cups 1/2 full. Bake for 20 to
25 minutes or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Immediatly
remove from pan. Yields: 30 muffins.
