Mom's Famous Bran Muffins

Submitted by Scandigirl

"My friend from British Columbia Judith gave me a large basket of hot out the oven muffins, and the recipe, as a welcome to our new home in 1974. Many batches have been made up since! The batter can be kept in the fridge for up to 6 weeks; can also be microwaved in custard cups that has been sprayed first with Pam. The batter works up to a large volume, remember you have to start with largest bowl availabe. Our kids would run home from school, and take a pyrex cup filled with the batter, and in to the microwave for a couple of minutes. Yum, yum..."
