LEMON-GINGER MUFFINS



LEMON-GINGER MUFFINS image

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole-wheat flour
¼ cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ
¼ cup rolled oats
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking soda
¾ cup chopped pecans
1 cup white grape juice concentrate
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tsp minced lemon zest
1 cup grated carrot

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a standard-size muffin tin with paper liners. 2. In large bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, flaxseed, oats, ground ginger, and baking soda. Stir in nuts. 3. In medium bowl, combine juice concentrate, eggs, oil, vanilla, fresh ginger, and lemon zest. Whisk to blend. Add the juice mixture to the flour mixture, and stir gently just until the batter is smooth and well blended; do not overmix. 4. Gently fold in carrots. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin tin. Bake about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 5. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 10 minutes. Remove muffins from tin; let cool completely. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days or individually wrapped in plastic wrap (and then in an airtight container or freezer bag) and frozen for a month.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your muffins will taste. Use fresh lemons and ginger, and make sure your flour and baking powder are fresh.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and be careful not to overbeat the eggs.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. This will help ensure that all of your muffins are the same size.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The muffins should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Once the muffins are baked, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These Lemon-Ginger Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are moist and flavorful, with a bright lemon flavor and a hint of ginger. The muffins are also very versatile, and can be made with a variety of different ingredients.
