Muffins are one of my favorite treats, either for breakfast or as a snack. Unfortunately, many of the ones you find at the grocery store or at coffee shops are high in fat and calories, and are made with excessive amounts of sugar and oil. If you're a fellow muffin-fan and want to try to bake a healthier variety on your own, check out this recipe for ginger bran muffins.

They contain ginger (obviously), which is thought to help settle an upset stomach, and bran (also obvious based on the title), a grain that is high in fib re and may help lower the risk of heart disease. At 136 calories per serving and only 6 g of fat (including only a single gram of saturated fat), and boasting 3g of fib re and 4g of protein, these muffins are a healthy, low-fat and delicious treat that you can enjoy any time.
