I was a little hesitant upon finishing the batter because it was very thin compared to most the muffins I make. They turned out fine though. Next time I would probably double or even triple the sugar because they needed a little boost of sugar to fit our taste. I did not have any oat bran so I topped the muffins with finely chopped candied ginger and that seemed to work well. Thanks for sharing.
I think the flavors and texture are great! A win for us with some alterations. I reduced the cook time to 14 min since I live at a high altitude of 7400 ft. I reduced baking powder to 1 tsp, added 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and added the entire 3/4 tsp ginger to the batter. I also increased the sugar to 6 Tbsp (double recipe). For the topping I melted 2 Tbsp butter adding 3Tbsp wheat germ, and 1/4 cup finely chopped crystalized ginger. Yum!!
I will definitely make this again! I used coconut oil instead of regular oil. Next time, I will make sure all ingredients are room temperature because the coconut oil hardened up on me after the addition of milk and egg, haha. But it turned out good anyway. I will also probably use more ginger.
I really liked these. I used whole wheat flour, 1 tbsp extra brown sugar, added a sprinkling of cinnamon to the batter, and doubled the oat bran topping. I used bosc pears. Perfect sweetness and a very nice combination of flavours and textures.
4 5 17... http://allrecipes.com/recipe/234163/ginger-pear-muffins/... Wellll yes changes. Rating is on the base - & it's good. 'Came here looking to make an apple ginger muffin. 'Soaked about 3/4c dried apples & 1c oats in 1/4c apple juice concentrate & 1/3c applesauce; adding 1/2c water when I thought it wasn't going to do "the trick." I'll go with 1/3c next time. Whisked together 1/3c oil & 1/3c brown sugar (coulda reduced since adding the sugar in the juice concentrate). Beat in the egg & 1t vanilla. Then added the oat mixture. Recipe states 1/4t ginger in & 1/2 on. 1/2 in still had nonexistent ginger flavor) 1t if again). 1c flour 1 1/2t baking powder & 1/2t salt (needs more). Oh & 1/4c wheat germ.:) Well even with apples apple juice & applesauce these didn't taste all that much like apples. 'Think apple is a difficult flavor to achieve without plenty of apples. Anyway good moist muffs. I topped with plain bread crumbs (Sneaky!) These will be the type to get fuzzy quickly so eat up!
Easy and quick. I added 1tsp cinnamon in addition to ginger. I added 1\4 sugar. 3\4 c pears is about 6 oz chopped. I like weighing fruit. I peeled the pears. I used 2oz cream cheese and the rest applesauce to make the 1\3 cup oil . Sometimes it's just about the dribs and dabs of things in the refrigerator that need used up. Next time I'll use the oil. Great flavor and texture.
I liked these muffins because they weren't too sweet. I couldn't taste the pear as much as I would have liked but maybe mine were too ripe. I didn't add walnuts but I did have some candied ginger that wasn't doing anything so I chopped it up and threw it in about 1/8 cup. The topping was different. I was thinking I might try a traditional streusel topping next time with some ground ginger and oat bran mixed in. All in all I enjoyed them!
