Yummy, Delicious, make you regular Bran Muffins

When I used to work as a nanny, the mom had me make these muffins.  I used to love them and hate them, because the kids would eat tons and the diapers and bathroom would be awful.  But, for grownups, they rock.  The entire recipe makes 6 dozen, so either use an enormous bowl to mix the batter, or plan to make half and refrigerate the rest.  Or, half the recipe.  Your call.

2 cups All-Bran (which has HFCS, which wigged me out when I read the label)
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup GrapeNuts
1 cup melted butter or margarine - I used applesauce
4 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar - it's high, but, remember, it makes 6 dozen.  I've done it with 3/4cup and no difference in taste
4 beaten eggs - I used egg beaters
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups white flour - I used all white whole wheat  for the 5 cups total
1 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups raisins - I used more and mixed in dried cherries, dates, and the jumbo golden and red raisin mix
1 cup molasses

Combine cereals, margarine and buttermilk.  Stir in rest of ingredients.  Bake in muffin tims at 350 for 10 minutes.

WHOA there! Those sound like some butt blastin' muffins! Will have to give them a try.

This looks really good (and I don't like bran anything). I've been steering away from cereal and other processed foods because things like HFCS sneak in there. That said, eating all natural is pretty hard.

they sound YUMMY.

I agree...trying to find a decent, healthy cereal without added sugar is HARD!

I mostly stick to my cheerios. (boring!)

These are wonderful! I had some thawed out strawberries that I pureed and used instead of applesauce. Note: I had to bake mine for 20 minutes instead of the 10. Will be making these again. These come in at 94.9 calories each and 0.8 grams of fat.
