Preparation:

Combine all ingredients well and store in container with tight-fitting lid. Makes 6 cups mix. To Prepare: Combine Bran Muffin Mix with water in mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add oil and egg and mix well. Fill well-greased muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake in preheated 400 oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are very lightly browned and spring back when touched.
