I was never quite sure what to call these since these are much more than just bran muffins given the ingredients, but I got the recipe from my mother when I first moved out and that's what she called them. They've proved to be a hit with both my friends and coworkers.

'Best' Bran Muffins

Makes a whole pile of muffins (almost 3 dozen)
Bake at 375 for 15-20 mins

Ingredients
1 cup Oatmeal
1 cup Hot Water
2 cups Buttermilk or...
2 cups Milk and 2 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 cups Sugar
1 cup Oil
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
2 cups All-Bran
1 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cloves
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Molasses
1 cup Raisins

- Soak oatmeal in hot water
- Combine baking soda and milk (if not using buttermilk)
- Mix together sugar, oil and salt; add eggs and bran
- Mix together all other dry ingredients
- Add dry/wet ingredients together
- Add oatmeal to mix
- Add the milk/buttermilk to mix
- Add the molasses and raisins to mix

This is the base recipe -- you can do some IBS things to it (substituting apple sauce for some of the oil, for instance; using the milk/baking soda instead of the buttermilk) according to your preferences. Enjoy!
