Gingerbread Muffins....Hmmmmm.....

For my birthday, I received a copy of Nigella Lawson Feasts - a cookbook I've wanted for several years. The premise of this book is that she gives you whole meals to celebrate different occassions throughout the year.

I tried her Gingerbread Muffins a couple days ago, and they were eatten in short order - and I was told they were/are fantastic. SO...I share this with you, just in case you want something special for Breakfast on Thursday (Thanksgiving).

Preheat oven to 400 and line a 12 - cup muffin tin with paper muffin cups.

In one bowl combine:
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves

In a second bowl combine:
1 egg
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 tsp. balsamic vinegar
6 tbsp vegetable oil (I used Canola)
4 tbsp. dark corn syrup
4 tbsp. molasses

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until mixed. Pour into muffin cups (I left about 1/4 inch at top). Bake 20 minutes (your house will smell WONDERFUL). Let cool.
