Indeed - bran muffins are good. Here's a recipe I got from the back of the Hodgson's Mill bran box
that you can make ahead and then just bake the muffins when you're ready:
3 c. Hodgson's Mill Wheat Bran 1 c. brown sugar 2-1/2 c. white flour 2-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter or margarine 1 pint buttermilk 2 eggs, beaten 1 c. boiling water
Combine 1 cup wheat bran and 1 cup boiling water. Let steep. In a separate bowl cream butter with
brown sugar. Combine flour, salt, baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the steeped bran with
remaining 2 cups of bran, eggs, buttermilk, butter and sugar. Mix together well. Cover and let stand
at least 12 hours before baking.
Store in a tightly covered bowl, refrigerated, up to 6 weeks. Simply stir and scoop out to fill
lightly greased muffin tins (2/3 full) and bake at 400F for 20 minutes.
