Quick Ginger Bran Muffins
- 3/4 cup bran cereal (flakes or another shape)
- 1/4 cup unprocessed bran
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup dried fruit such as raisins, cherries, or cranberries
- Cooking-oil spray
- Mix together both brans with 1/4 cup boiling water in a large bowl. Let cool. In a small bowl, combine oil, honey, molasses, milk, and egg, then stir into bran mixture. Add flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and dried fruit and stir until just combined.
- Spray a microwave-safe 1/2-cup bowl or ramekin with cooking spray and spoon in 1/4 cup batter. Microwave until muffin springs back when touched but isn't hard, about 45 seconds for a single muffin or 90 seconds for 4 muffins cooked together. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Make ahead: For batter, up to 4 days, chilled.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per muffin.
