2 egg yolks
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream
1 cup unbleached flour (whole wheat or white)
1/4 cup rye flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 to 1 tsp. ground ginger
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Beat egg yolks, molasses, sugar and butter together until light.

Whisk or sift together dry ingredients until well mixed.

Add yogurt or sour cream, then the dry ingredients. Beat for 1 minute.

Bake in buttered or paper-lined muffin cups for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove from oven and brush tops with butter; sprinkle lightly with coarse turbinado sugar, if desired.
