Ursula's Bran Muffins

These muffins are my idea of easy weekend brunch fare - you mix them up the night before and then bake them the next day. How easy is that!

Beat well:
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil

Sift together:
2 cups bran flakes
1/4 cup wholemeal flour
1 1/4 cup cake flour
5ml salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup dates chopped soaked in 1 cup of boiling water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Allow to cool.

2 cups milk
1 cup of sultanas or raisins

Add date mixture and sultanas to egg mixture, then add dry ingredients then the milk and mix until blended. Do not over mix - it should be a sloppy mixture. Cover and leave in the fridge overnight. Bake at 180 degrees for approx 25-30 min.

Ursula added some nuts to these light fluffy muffins. As she says, muffins should not be overmixed. Just stir enough to combine the ingredients.
