Raisins and Bran Muffins that I used to make when the children were young and we went on road trips. There was always time to make a batch before we left, it’s quick! I also filled thermoses with hot chocolate, coffee and tea. We’d have a feast on the road before we knew about the expensive convenience of the coffee shop drive thru.
