MUFFINS:

  • In a medium bowl combine butter, sugars, eggs, yogurt, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, salt whipping cream, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and mix with an electric mixer until well combined.

Notes

NOTE: Be sure to stir yogurt before adding to ingredients.
 
 
 
NOTE: Milk will not bring the proper consistency in the glaze. Cream is preferred.
 
 
 
NOTE: If piping icing from zip lock bag, you will not be able to use one with the "easy to fill" bottom. Those won't work.
