Ingredients:

1 cup maple syrup

5 tbsp. margarine

One large egg

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

Two ¼ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. ground nutmeg

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. ground ginger

½ cup milk

Directions:

The oven should be preheated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)—clean and grease two 12-cup muffin tins.

Mix margarine and maple syrup in a sizable bowl and beat until thoroughly combined and creamy. Add egg and blend well.

Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
