Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 quart buttermilk or 4 cups
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 5 cups flour
  • 5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 box raisin bran cereal approximately 16 ounces, or 7 1/2 cups

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
  2. Add buttermilk, oil and sugar.
  3. In a separate large bowl mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Stir in raisin bran.
  6. When ready to use, preheat oven to 400 degrees, place cupcake liners in a muffin pan, fill each 2/3 full with batter, and bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, until golden.

Notes

If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute by stirring together 4 cups milk and 4 tablespoons vinegar.
If possible, refrigerate batter in a covered container at least a few hours before baking the first batch. Keep any unused batter in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to six weeks (check expiration dates of all ingredients before making to ensure they'll all stay good for the full six weeks of refrigeration).
