This recipe circulated around the teachers in the school where I taught, years ago. When I had kids at home, I made these regularly. If I wanted muffins, I just got some batter from the frig and baked them up. These muffins are very moist.

Another big advantage is that you can bake any number of muffins you want. Just get your mix from the frig, and fill as many muffin cups as you want, from two to two dozen.

Daughters Lisa and Amy, then 6 and 8, set our little new gray kitten on the table after a meal, and it tore into the muffin leavings on the plate. That earned the kitten the name of Bran Muffin, Muffin for short.
