Description

Pineapple juice and golden raisins add a fruity sweetness to these bran muffins made with shredded wheat-bran cereal, honey and brown sugar. Since you must refrigerate the batter, mix it up at night so you can bake them up fresh for breakfast in the morning.

Ingredients

2 cups pineapple juice
2 cups golden raisins
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
5 eggs, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups whole bran cereal

Directions

1 In a small bowl, combine pineapple juice and raisins. Set aside.
2 In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in cereal. Set aside.
3 In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, oil, honey, and eggs; mix well. Add cereal mixture, and mix well. Fold in the raisin mixture. Batter will be thin; it will thicken as it chills. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
4 Stir chilled batter. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups 3/4 full.
5 Bake in a preheated 400 degree F (205 degree C) oven, for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
