These refrigerator bran muffins—a family recipe shared by my amazing Auntie Lois—are an all-time favorite in my house. They are SO yummy! The recipe makes a huge batch, but the batter stores in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. It is perfect for busy mornings because we can spoon out just what we need and have a hot, delicious & healthy breakfast even when we are short on time (or energy).
