- Do ahead: you can mix the batter the night before, then chill. Stir lightly before pouring into the tin.
- Refrigeration/freezing: chill up to 1 week. Freeze up to 6 months.
- Pumpkin enriches these muffins in two ways, with its familiar sweet flavor and a bit of beta-carotene. You can replicate the taste and multiply the vitamins by using sweet potato instead.
- Heat the oven to 500 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin or possibly sweet potato puree, wheat bran, egg whites, buttermilk or possibly yogurt, molasses, and sugar. Stir with a whisk till smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking pwdr, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing just sufficient to moisten, about 30 seconds. Mix in the raisins.
- Fill the c. of a 6-c. nonstick muffin tin two-thirds full Place the tin in the oven. Lower the temperature to 400 F. Bake till the tops are golden and springy to the touch and a knife or possibly toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin tests clean, about 30 min. Let the tin cold on a cooling rack for 10 min before removing the muffins. To store, let the muffins cold completely on the rack. Seal them inside a plastic bag, and chill or possibly freeze.
- Outstanding source of vitamin a. Very good source of calcium and iron.
- Good source of vitamins B2, B3.
- NOTES : Fatfree muffins! For "lovely peaks" Shaw recommends preheating the oven to 500 and then lowering the temperature when you put the muffins in the oven.
- I would be tempted to use Egg Beaters instead of the Large eggs, except for Sarah Phillips recommendation in a previous post which Large eggs are better. I just do not buy Large eggs and find Egg Beaters, that I do keep in the house, to be very convenient.
