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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the cereal to soften.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Stir the grated fresh ginger, lime zest, and brown sugar into the softened bran mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 5

Beat in the egg, vegetable oil, and lime juice to the bran mixture, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped crystallized ginger for added bursts of spicy sweetness.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your zesty, gingery bran muffins!
