Fiber-Licious Six Week Muffins (Raisin Bran & Flax)

Submitted by Chef BlueTulip

"This version comes from my extremely health-conscious sister-in-law, who passed on her version as well as her mom's. It seems to double some of the similar recipes here, by adding add'l dry ingredients (more raisins, flax meal, whole wheat flour) and moist (oil AND applesauce, more buttermilk). Larger batch, but batter keeps in fridge for 6 weeks - so her family happily eats "fresh baked" muffins every morning! ________ Note on flax meal: You can make your own by grinding flax seeds in a coffee grinder. Since flax can go rancid, I keep seeds in the freezer, then grind them, then store any extra "meal" back in the freezer."
