Delicious Raisin Bran Muffins

This recipe for Raisin Bran Muffins makes a big batch. Store them in the refrigerator, and bake some up whenever you want!
If there are home-baked muffins available in my house, life is good. Somehow they’re a comfort food that is not only satisfying, but just feels nostalgic and old fashioned. I’ve got quite a few muffin recipes that are my favorites, depending on the season. But these Delicious Raisin Bran Muffins are as easy and classic as a bowl of cereal. And much easier to eat on the go.
This recipe is basically a bulk recipe that you can make ahead and keep in your refrigerator. Mix them up in a non-metal large bowl and cover with a tight lid. (I actually use a cleaned-out ice cream bucket). Whenever you’re craving a warm muffin, you can bake up a few, or a couple dozen! Definitely a family favorite:)

These sound so good - I am making them now.... but is that correct - you can keep it in the fridge for 6 weeks? Eggs and buttermilk by themselves don't usually last that long right? Is it suppose to be 2 weeks? Or can you freeze it up to 6 weeks?
