1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour

¼ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon allspice (or cloves)

Coarse or decorating sugar, optional (gold is pretty here!)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 11 cups of a standard-size muffin tin with nonstick spray. (They may stick to paper liners.)

In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, butter, molasses, and vanilla. (Yogurt can be lumpy so try to whisk it smooth.)

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, and salt.

Gently fold the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture.

Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin tin, using 1/4 cup batter in each. Sprinkle the tops with coarse or decorating sugar if desired.

Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for a minute, then run a knife around the edges and transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
