Pumpkin Bran Muffins

Here is another installment of products made by yours truly at her little baking gig. This time, Pumpkin Bran Muffins, commercial style! These are a fantastic muffin, actually, and the texture is beautiful. Pumpkin tends to do that, and the flavour of pumpkin works well with the bran and, unsurprisingly, the molasses. Again, this makes about 36-42 large, bakery-sized muffins, but the recipe can be divided by four for the home baker.

Pumpkin Bran Muffins

Mix together well:
4 cups oil
4 cups sugar
12 eggs
1 1/2 cups molasses
2 tbsp cinnamon
8 cups bran
1 tin (28oz) pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

Add:
7 cups water
4 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
8 cups flour

Scoop & bake @ 350F. The batter will be both sloppy and a bit lumpy, but don't worry - it all works out in the end.

These muffins fill the kitchen with such a wonderful aroma!

Enjoy!
