Really good! I just had one that was still warm out of the oven. I topped each muffin with 5 semisweet choc chips... am I glad I did! I too didn't have any crystalized ginger and my fresh ginger wasn't fit for consumption, so I used about a teaspoon of ground ginger instead. I would definitely use more next time as I can't taste it. But there will be a next time... Yum! -
I'm eating these right now :) I grated up some fresh ginger since I didn't have any crystallized and I used up an extra banana by chopping it up into small pieces and mixing it in at the end. Also, I used 1/4 cup of Splenda. SO good, thanks! -
Very healthy and yummy. They were soft and moist and perfect with coffee. I didn't have any crystallized ginger so I used a mixed spice blend that had cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger included. I love that the recipe uses whole wheat flour and wheat germ. I used Splenda for the sugar. Made for PAC, Spring '08.

I'll give these 5 stars for the healthy-ness. Not in the least bit sweet, but what I like for myself is the spice's that come thru over the sweetness. I can taste just a bit of banana too. I didn't have wheat bran (I didn't know what that was) and subbed about 3/4 cup whiteflour in replacement of. These are wonderful for me as I don't feel guilty indulging with a cup of coffee. Thanks for posting Taiter!! Made for Spring's PAC 08'
