These are very moist and tasty muffins. They are full of healthy ingredients such as bran, shredded wheat, dates, nuts and raisins. This recipe makes 2 1/2 dozen muffins but I made 2 dozen and just filled my tins up a little higher to make bigger muffins. I individually wrap each muffin and then freeze them for lunches or snacks.
Date Nut Bran Muffins
Ingredients
2 cups All-Bran
1 cup crushed Shredded Wheat
1 cup boiling water
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the cereals and boiling water; let stand for 5 minutes.
In another large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk and oil.
Stir cereal and buttermilk mixtures into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in the dates, raisins and walnuts.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups ¾ full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 2 dozen-2 ½ dozen depending on how full you fill you muffin tins.
