Gingerbread Bran Muffins image

These muffins start with a hefty cup of toasted bran, along with whole wheat flour for more bran and super-healthy wheat germ. And they're extra tasty with plenty of cozy spices, fragrant fresh ginger and rich, sweet molasses. There's a lot going on in these little muffins! To amp up the flavor even more, try adding orange zest, cranberries or nuts.

Time 50m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup graham or whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup raisins
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spread the wheat bran evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until fragrant and toasted, about 8 minutes. Remove the bran from the oven and increase the heat to 450 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the toasted bran, graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and cloves. In a large bowl, whisk together the molasses, vegetable oil, dark brown sugar and eggs. Stir in the buttermilk, raisins and ginger.
  • Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until everything is evenly moistened. Don't overdo it.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups. Transfer to the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the tops are nice and puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.

BRAN BUDS MUFFINS



Bran Buds Muffins image

I love this recipe because it has spice. It is not overly sweet, it isn't bland either. The fat content isn't too high. I got the recipe from an old box of Kellogg's Bran Buds.

CARROT GINGER BRAN MUFFINS



Carrot Ginger Bran Muffins image

From Women's Health Magazine, these taste awesome and they're really healthy for you! I like to put them in the fridge and microwave one for breakfast. Here's Women's Health Mag description: You may still be sporting sandals, but cold and flu season will be back faster than you can say "Gesundheit!" Protect yourself with this spicy triple threat. Car­rots are rich in immune-boosting vitamin A, zinc-packed pumpkin seeds ward off infection, and apple juice flows with sniffle-stifling vitamin C. "If your body needs to protect itself or heal, these three vitamins are essential," Zeratsky says. Another weapon: yogurt. Studies show that its good-for-you bacteria provide another line of defense against microbes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor. Overripe bananas will make the muffins too mushy.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the muffins rise properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. Overfilling will cause the muffins to rise over the tops of the cups and bake unevenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time. This will help them rise quickly and create a tender crumb.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Bran Gingerum Muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of bananas, ginger, and molasses gives these muffins a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give Bran Gingerum Muffins a try.
