Nannie's Six Week Bran Muffins

Submitted by Diana 2

"Along the same lines as some others here, but with a few different ingredients. These muffins are very moist and flavourful. And yes...the batter will stay fresh for quite a while. The recipe calls for the addition of raisins, but I have also added cranberries, chopped dates, coconut and a variety of nuts....but not all at the same time. ;)"
