Ginger Bran Muffins


6 Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup bran cereal (not flakes)
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 tbsp Manila Coco Virgin Coconut 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 Manila Coco Virgin Coconut 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.
