Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Bran cereal
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Chopped crystallized ginger
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the cereal to soften.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon.
Stir the grated fresh ginger, lime zest, and brown sugar into the softened bran mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Beat in the egg, vegetable oil, and lime juice to the bran mixture, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped crystallized ginger for added bursts of spicy sweetness.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your zesty, gingery bran muffins!
