These muffins didn't come from the corner bakery. They didn't come from a fancy schmancy brunch cafe. They didn't come from a catering company. They're not made out of plastic. They didn't even come from outer space. I whipped them up in my own kitchen in less than 40 minutes.

Cakey and slightly sweet and spiked with gingery goodness, this has quickly become the favorite muffin recipe in my house. How do I know? Because they're all gone. That's how. But who can resist? I mean, come on. Look at them!
