Mary Anne Black's Refrigerator Muffin Mix

Benjamin asked for this one from our friend Mary Anne. You'd never know from the great taste that it is quite good for you, too! Mary Anne tells us that she keeps the mix in the fridge and cooks up a few in the morning for breakfast.

5 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups natural wheat bran
2 cups all bran cereal
3 Tbsp baking soda
5 cups buttermilk or sour milk
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
2 cups raisins (or chocolate chips)

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients except baking soda. In another bowl, stir baking soda and buttermilk together. Add oil, eggs and molasses and beat well with mixer. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, pour in the liquid and mix well. Stir in raisins. Store in a sealed plastic container in the refrigerator for up to six weeks.

TO BAKE: Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease pan or use paper muffin cups. Stir mixture well and fill tins 2/3 full. Bake 20 minutes or until cooked through.
