2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped pecans, Optional
Cream Cheese Frosting:
2 3oz. pkg cream cheese, softened

Add the molasses and sour cream.
Combine the remaining ingredients and add to the sour cream mixture.
Stir until just moistened and no flour can be seen.
Spoon into muffin tins that have been coated with a non-stick spray filling each cup 1/2 full.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until done.
