Yummy, Healthy Bran Muffins

Here's a great recipe for bran muffins. I make these for breakfast all the time. These are delicious and healthy. Yesterday I served them with peach jam - yum!

Bran Muffins
3 C. unprocessed wheat bran
1 C. boiling water
1 C. brown sugar
½ C. margarine
2-1/2 C. freshly ground wheat flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 C. buttermilk (or 2 C. Milk with 2 Tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice, let sit for 5 min)

Mix 1 C wheat bran with 1 C. boiling water; stir and let water absorb into bran. In a separate bowl blend sugar and margarine. Measure and combine flour, sugar and salt. Combine the moist bran with beaten eggs, the remaining 2 C. of bran, buttermilk, blended sugar-margarine mixture, and flour, soda and salt mixture. Stir until well blended.
