Spring in Ontario has been overtaken by winter, which is a good excuse to turn on the oven to heat the place up and produce some home baked goodness. I was in the mood for something different today, so I made up a batch of ginger muffins. The delicious aroma of these miniature ginger cakes baking still lingers in my kitchen. These nicely spiced muffins contain very little sugar, and make for a satisfying morning or afternoon snack, or a fulfilling addition to lunch.
