Ginger Cream Cheese Morning Muffins

Date added: March 4, 2008

An easy breakfast muffin, ginger with a cream cheese filling.

Something a little different than your typical morning muffin recipe. The muffins use whole grain flour and with a great ginger flavor -- plus the cream cheese filling is a nice suprise. This recipe uses a soft diced crystallized ginger, if not available crystallized ginger from the spice aisle will work but reduce the amount slightly.
