Cypress Inn Bran Muffins

these are fantastic. it's almost unfair to title them as bran.
**Hillary, bake these since you have leftover buttermilk!!

1 (15oz) box Raisin Bran cereal
3 cups sugar
5 cups all-purpose flour
5tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp nutmeg
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup oil
1 quart buttermilk
2 tsp vanilla

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in other ingredients and mix well. Grease small muffin tins, Spoon batter into muffin tins (fill 1/2 to 3/4 full) and bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 min. Cool in pan before removing. You can store the batter in the refrigerator up to six weeks, but not in a metal container.

Tip from my church cookbook: put water in one of the muffin compartments to make the muffins nice and moist!
