How to Make Carrot Ginger Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup apple juice and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup wheat bran, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cooled apple juice syrup, 1 large egg, ½ cup plain yogurt, 1 cup grated carrots, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and ⅓ cup molasses.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in ½ cup pumpkin seeds.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
