Ginger Yeast Muffins Recipes

GINGERBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar, applesauce, molasses, vegetable oil, and egg in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer until combined.
• Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to applesauce mixture, stirring until combined. Add water; mix until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle lightly with remaining sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.

GINGER PEAR MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and salt together in a bowl; form a well in the center of flour mixture. Whisk milk, oil, and egg together in a small bowl and pour into well. Stir until batter is just moistened; fold in pear and walnuts. Fill prepared muffin cups with batter.
• Mix oat bran and remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger together in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and tops are brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing from muffin cups. Serve warm.

GINGER YEAST MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1-1/2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. , In another bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in molasses until smooth. Add the yeast mixture. Combine cinnamon, salt, baking soda, ginger and remaining flour; gradually add to egg mixture. Stir in nuts. , Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

PEAR AND GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. and line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper muffin liners.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, the ½ cup of brown sugar, baking powder, and ground ginger.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the sour cream, oil, honey, and eggs together and then fold this into the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated (don't over-mix).
• Gently stir in the diced pear and then divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. (I like to use an ice cream scoop to neatly and evenly distribute the batter into the muffin pan.)
• Sprinkle each muffin with ½ teaspoon brown sugar and then bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack. These are best eaten when still a little warm.
