Ingredients

  • 15 oz. box Post Raisin Bran
  • 1/2 cup melted Crisco
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Tips & Substitutions

For a lighter texture, consider sifting your flour and baking soda together before adding them to the mixture. You can substitute the Crisco with unsalted butter for a richer flavor. If you prefer less sugar, try reducing it to 1 cup or using a sugar substitute. Adding chopped nuts or spices like cinnamon can enhance the flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?

Yes, you can use regular milk, but for the best results, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to one cup of milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.

How can I make these muffins healthier?

To make the muffins healthier, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and reducing the sugar content. You can also add mashed bananas or applesauce to replace some of the fat and sugar while adding moisture.

Can I add other ingredients to the muffins?

Absolutely! You can customize these muffins by adding raisins, dried cranberries, or even chocolate chips. Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can also add a delightful crunch and flavor.
