I love recipes that look and taste like you spent all day in the kitchen when in reality you threw it together in just a couple minutes! Because the consistency of this bread is more like a biscuit, there is no finicky yeast to worry about. No yeast means the prep is simple and then it’s into the oven so you can work on the rest of your 5-course dinner or clean your house. This bread is perfect to serve with soup or salad or pretty much any meal. And leftovers are AMAZING! Think toasted and made into an open face breakfast sandwich with a fried egg and sausage. Um…wow! One catch…for you to…

I’ve actually cut back on the sugar from what the original recipe called…

Refrigerator Bran Muffins
I think it’s safe to say that I have a slight muffin obsession. But honestly, can you have too many go to muffin recipes? I think not. Last year I went looking for a bran muffin recipe and once I discovered the inspiration for these I stopped looking. Not only are they delicious and healthier (applesauce replaces some of the butter), but the batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. Yep, you read that right. Once you make the batter you can let it sit in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and when you are ready to bake them just give the batter a good stir before spooning into…
