1 1/4 teaspoons ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 Cup light or dark molasses, depending on preference

Gingerbread Bran Muffins image

These muffins start with a hefty cup of toasted bran, along with whole wheat flour for more bran and super-healthy wheat germ. And they're extra tasty with plenty of cozy spices, fragrant fresh ginger and rich, sweet molasses. There's a lot going on in these little muffins! To amp up the flavor even more, try adding orange zest, cranberries or nuts.

YUMMY AND EASY RAISIN MUFFINS



Yummy and Easy Raisin Muffins image

Moist and super yummy Raisin Muffins. I made them from a basic muffin recipe then adding some ingredients of my own and tweaking the cooking time. Very easy to make! Chop the raisins finely--don't mash them! The banana makes the already moist muffins, well, more moist with just a hint of banana flavor. Not to mention that it gives a good look on the muffin top crust. It's important that you use an overripe banana. Enjoy!
