This interesting gingery recipe will spice up any Valentine’s day. And the best thing is that you can prepare it ahead of time, as these muffins will taste amazing for at least 2 days after you prepare them, or so they tell me. Every time I make them, they disappear in a matter of minutes, it seems.

Divide your batter equally between all the muffin cups. Optionally, sprinkle some sugar or shredded coconut on top.
