SO HOW'D IT GO?
beked them for more than an hour, i'd say 75 minutes.. and they still weren't done in the middle.. :-\ i guess this recipe doesn't work for big muffins.
the cooked part tasted good though..
these are awesome; nice and moist, not too sweet, and nicely spiced. I increased the baking powder to 1 tsp, used ener-g egg replacer instead of flax eggs, replaced the oil with mashed banana, and used 1/4 tsp of ground ginger instead of fresh. They still came out with a great texture, which sometimes doesn't happen when I replace the oil. I also had to bake them for more like 18 minutes. These would probably be awesome with walnuts and/or raisins; I'll definitely make these again so I'll experiment in the future.
