Brian and I are big fans of bran muffins. The problem is the Mr. likes them warm. During the week, I just can't make that happen. Well, that's what I thought until I came across this recipe from A Little Bit Crunchy a Little Bit Rock n' Roll. You mix up the batter the night before and bake the next day. Even better you can keep the batter for up to two weeks...sweet! I added a few ingredients to suit our taste, and we loved these muffins. They are a new favorite. Thanks for sharing Mama J.

1/4 cup fine milled flax seed
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cloves
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

In a medium bowl mix together buttermilk, oil, and egg. In a large bowl mix together the remaining ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. Cover and refrigerate over night. You can keep the batter for up to two weeks covered in the refrigerator.
