Spiced Banana Gingerbread Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spread the wheat bran evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until fragrant and toasted, about 8 minutes. Remove the bran from the oven and increase the heat to 450 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the toasted bran, graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and cloves. In a large bowl, whisk together the molasses, vegetable oil, dark brown sugar and eggs. Stir in the buttermilk, raisins and ginger.
• Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until everything is evenly moistened. Don't overdo it.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups. Transfer to the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the tops are nice and puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
