The ingredients for Whole Grain Ginger Pear Bran Muffins are:

Dry Stuff:
1 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 cups Oat Bran
2 cups Wheat Bran
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt

Wet Stuff:
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup yogurt (non-fat)

1 oz crystallized ginger or 1/2 cup finely chopped candied ginger

Here is how you make Whole Grain Ginger Pear Bran Muffins:

Preheat oven to 375F and grease a muffin tin. I usually use the oil/flour spray that comes in a can, and these pop out just fine. You could also use paper muffin linersIn a large bowl, mix the dry stuff together.In a separate bowl, mix the wet stuff together (tip: mix the eggs, oil, and honey first - then add the yogurt. It's cold, so it makes the honey harder to stir if you haven't mixed it into the oil yet).Mix the wet stuff into the dry stuff until reasonably well combined. Don't overmix, but don't leave big swaths of dry powdery stuff.Gently stir in the pears & candied ginger. This recipe tastes best with slightly over-ripe pears, the kind that you can squish in your bare hands (it feels kind of weird, but less weird than if you're making meatloaf).Fill greased muffin cups with batter about 3/4 of the way full. Slide the muffin tin into a 375 degree oven, on the middle rack. Bake 25 minutes & check with a wooden toothpick (if they're still wet, leave them in longer). Let them cool in the pan 10 minutes then cool them on a wire rack. They can be stored at room temp for 3 days, in the fridge for 5, and in the freezer for a month.This recipe is from www.farmgirlfare.com, she has a lot of other recipes on her site about using garden produce.
