6 Week Bran Muffins

This is my husband's FAVORITE recipe! I got it from my sister in law who got it from their mom. He had these all the time growing up and was excited for me to get this one! This batter can be kept in the refridgerator for up to 6 weeks. It's makes approx 4 dozen muffins for a regular sized batch, so it can easily be halved.
