Banana Raisin Bran Muffins

I have a confession. I volunteered to make muffins for the kids school, bought the ingredients to make the Raisin Bran Muffins and completely spaced until late the night before. The Raisin Bran muffins are perfect because you can store the left over batter in your fridge for up to 6 weeks. I thought, I'd send 2 dozen and leave the other 2 dozen for the morning after Thanksgiving when we head to hockey.

As I was mixing up the batter, I saw some bananas that looked as tired as I felt on the counter and thought that I would throw them in. As I was mixing, LIGHTBULB, I can't store them in the fridge for 6 weeks now because of the banana, I have to make ALL of them!

BUT, they were YUMMY and work got a bonus. Even better than the plain muffins. What I would do next time is add the bananas to the amount of batter I want to make. Figure 2 bananas for half the batter. Half the batter makes 2 dozen muffins. Below is the "original" recipe.

15 oz box of Raisin Bran Cereal
5 C Flour
3 C Sugar
5 t Soda

Beat eggs thoroughly then add oil and butter milk to eggs. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix only until all ingredients are moistened.

Store batter in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Batter will keep up to six weeks.
