I used unsalted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs. They're so good. They rised a lot. Maybe it's my new oven or the muffins lol The taste is unbelievable. Thanks SusieQ

These have a very subtle flavor combo. I might be tempted to add more ginger next time, though. I used a mix of Splenda and sugar. Nice texture for being low-fat!
