6 week Bran Muffin recipe

 This is brilliant. You can make this bran muffin batter and then keep it in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. Make one muffin or make 20 at a time!!

A few months ago, I started walking in the mornings with a bunch of ladies in my neighborhood. It was just what I needed to get my butt in gear and start focusing on being more healthy and getting my life back. I’ve since started focusing on what I eat, working out on a regular basis, watching my sugar intake (most days!) and really getting on a healthy track.

Well, one of our walking days ended with one of the girls grabbing us all some warm muffins from her house to end our walk. They were so good, and the next day we were all begging for the recipe. Little did we know that these amazing muffins were not only delish, but also EASY!! You make a HUGE batch of batter and then the batter lasts in your fridge for UP TO 6 WEEKS. Yup, you read that right, 6 weeks. Now, mine haven’t lasted 6 weeks. The longest we got was 5 weeks in the fridge. And they only lasted that long because I was gone for 10 days during the 5 weeks.

These muffins have been a hit with the whole family, and the neighbor kids have even grown to know that we usually have some on hand. This is one snack that I don’t mind whipping up and handing out to everyone in the middle of the day.

  1. What a great recipe! There’s nothing better than fresh muffins, and I love that the dough can last for so long in the fridge. Thanks for sharing!

  2. We had muffins like these when I was young and I loved them! I can’t wait to make these. I know you said that you find the Bran flakes and buds by the cereal, but what brand to you use? I’ve looked and not been able to find these at the store.

  3. 6 weeks? My husband tosses anything older than 1 week. I need to try these and make a bright sign that says not to toss them out! 🙂

  4. This is so cool! Thank you so much for linking up with our Living with Style Linky Party! Come back next Wednesday!
