Ginger Bran Muffins

 

6 Muffins

This old-fashioned recipe makes a muffin batter that can be kept in the

refrigerator so you can make 1 or 2 muffins at a time. Or you can make them all

at once and freeze them. They thaw in just a few minutes if left on the kitchen

counter.

 

Ingredients:

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

 

Instructions:

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.

Yummy sounding... thank you! I think I might try them with some snipped up

dried apricots instead of raisins... they'd be wonderful with the ginger!
