Beat the margarine with the sugar until pale & creamy then add the eggs, one at a time, alternately with the sifted flour & salt. Stir in the all bran, bran flakes, buttermilk, fruit & nuts (nuts are optional).

Spoon into pans & bake for 20 mins or until cooked. Leave to cool then store in the refrigerator.

Makes about 64 medium or 35-40 large muffins.

Sultanas = golden raisins.

These muffins will keep for weeks (they say 6!) in the refrigerator. They are perfect for a quick snack. Spread them with light cream cheese rather than butter or just eat them alone. Warm them in the microwave for breakfast.
