Make Ahead Bran Muffins

This is awesome. I got this recipe from my boss. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. So you can scoop out a couple muffins each morning and add what ever you want to them... like carrots or bananas... or whatever. And this recipe makes 5 dozen muffins. I love this idea! I made this with All Bran Cereal
