Garry's Oatmeal Muffin Mix

 This is a dry mix you can make ahead of time and it makes 3 batches. I keep it on hand in dry storage in my pantry so i can whip up muffins in the morning for my kids. 

* you could also turn it into a bran mix although I haven't kitchen tested it myself, just replace the 3 cups oats with 4 cups bran and add some raisins when you mix it up to put in the oven.
