Ginger Molasses Muffins

Slocan cook's Note:

A closely related muffin that resembles the bran muffin with a subtle taste of ginger to spice up things a little bit more than usual. A very good muffin for those early morning coffee breaks or for breakfast on the go when you are in a hurry.

Very moist and great flavor! I will be making these often. I might even up the amount of ginger (we really like our ginger!) Made for Fall 2011 PAC game.

Thanks to Pic A Chef I picked this recipe to try.

The flavors in these muffins are unbeliveable!

The next time I make these muffins I would fill the batter to the rim. They did not raise much.

Don't worry if the batter is runny it means nothing.

Great recipe to try!

I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup. These muffins have a good taste. The dough was liquid, more than usual. But still the muffins looked great and rised. Thanks Slocan Cook :) Made for Cookbook tag game
