CARROT GINGER BRAN MUFFINS

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.

GINGER BRAN MUFFINS

Categories     Bread     Breakfast     Bake     High Fiber

Yield 6 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup bran cereal (not flakes)
1/4 cup boiling water
2 tbsp olive oil or canola oil
1 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp raisins or other chopped dried fruit
1/2 cup unbleached flour
1 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over the bran cereal in a mixing bowl. Stir to mix and let stand 5 minutes. Add the oil, sugar, egg, buttermilk, grated ginger and raisins to the bran and mix well. In a small bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda. Stir into the bran mixture and mix well. The batter can be kept tightly covered in the refrigerator for about a week. To bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a muffin tin if you are making all 6 muffins or place a foil muffin cup in a custard cup if you are baking just one muffin. Don't stir the batter if it has been keeping in the refrigerator. Fill the muffin tin or muffin cups 2/3 full of batter. Bake the muffins for 12 - 14 minutes or until the top springs lightly back to the touch.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Make the muffin batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, all you have to do is preheat the oven and bake the muffins.
  • Measure Accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons for precise measurements. This will ensure that your muffins turn out perfectly.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill Muffin Tins Properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise and bake evenly.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: The ideal temperature for baking muffins is 375°F (190°C). This will help them rise and brown evenly.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Let Muffins Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These ginger bran muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. With their moist texture and irresistible aroma, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy treat, give these ginger bran muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
