Lazy Day Muffins

This is another old recipe of unknown origin. The main thing to know about this is that it makes a lot of muffins. Fortunately, it also keeps very well in the refrigerator, so you can make up a batch of a dozen or so at a time to have for the weekend, and keep the rest in the ’fridge for the next week.

Lazy Day muffins with blueberries

You can use bran flakes or raisin bran for the second cereal. I prefer to use regular bran flakes instead of raisin bran, and then add in some frozen blueberries when baking.

Even if you use a non-stick muffin pan, you'll want to spray it liberally with vegetable oil before baking, or use paper cupcake cups.
