Bran Muffins

Bran Muffin (thanks to Sonia Roberts)

Applesauce Mix (set aside)
4 eggs
3/4c applesauce
1/4c oil
1c sugar/agave/honey/maple syrup

Boil (set aside)
2c water
5 t baking soda

Mix in a HUGE bowl
1 quart buttermilk
5c wheat flour
1 c chopped walnuts/almonds
3-5 ripe smashed bananas
Add the apple sauce mixture and the baking soda mixture
4 c All bran cereal (or whole/multigrain grain cereal, leftover smashed cereal)
2 c bran flakes

Cover and refrigerate overnight. I like to pour the mixture in a pitcher, that way the bowl doesn't take up a whole shelf and it is easy to pour in the muffin tins. Spray tins or use cupcake baking cups. 350 degree 20min (small tins) or 35 min (large tins).
I really liked these and so did the kids!

Optional- I added chopped (pureed) flax, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds
(optional- add right before you cook raisins or choco chips)
