This excellent bran muffin recipe has been in Daria Burcar's family over 25 years. They're incredibly moist and chock-full of healthy ingredients like raisins, dates and nuts, says the Rochester, Minnesota resident.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-bran
1 cup crushed shredded wheat
1 cup boiling water
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cereals and boiling water; let stand for 5 minutes. In another large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk and oil. Stir cereal and buttermilk mixtures into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in the dates, raisins and walnuts.
2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
