Refrigerator Bran Muffins

As strange as it may seem this muffin mixture is made in bulk and stored in the refrigerator, the mixture can be cooked as you need over the next month.

Muffins are always best eaten on the day they are baked so this recipe is the perfect solution to freshly baked muffins without the need to make the mixture everyday.

These muffins are healthy and perfect for breakfast, morning tea or just as a snack, they are full of fibre, very filling and low fat.

I have made them with a variety of dried fruits (mixed fruit; fruit medley; sultana, date, figs for example). To change things up I have also added mashed banana, grated carrot, zucchini or apple to a portion of the mixture and you could also change the Cinnamon to Mixed Spice, Nutmeg or any other spice you like.
