Bran Muffins

Here is the first of my meal plan recipes.  I am trying to lose weight and have been working with a dietician.  


This makes a ton , so I usually half it. Also, they freeze really well.  

2 cups bran buds or All Bran (100%) (This is a type of cereal)

2 cups shredded wheat (5 large squares crumbled) 

2 c. old fashioned oats
2 cups water 

3 cups sugar 

1 cup oil 

 4eggs 

2 tsp salt 

5 tsp soda 

5 cups flour (whole wheat) 

1-quart low-fat buttermilk

Directions

1. Mix cereal, oatmeal, and water and let stand. 2. Blend sugar, oil, eggs, soda, and salt. 3. Alternate buttermilk and flour and stir after adding each. 4. Mix together with cereal. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

 This mix can store in the refrigerator

for up to 6 weeks.
