I love this recipe for Gingerbread Muffins because they aren’t overly sweet and the flavour of gingerbread really comes through with each bite. They are a great addition to your morning coffee especially during the festive holiday season!
We’ve been busy with our holiday preparations. The tree is finally up and I’m almost done shopping for Christmas gifts. I just have a few last minute things to pick up. It’s really starting to feel like Christmas in my home. I love this time of year.
Why not whip up a batch of these delectable Gingerbread Muffins while you work on preparing your home for the holidays?
If you are a gingerbread fan, make sure to try my Gingerbread Waffles, Gingerbread Whoopie Pies and Cinnamon Rolls with Gingerbread Cream Cheese Frosting. So good!
How are your holiday preparations going so far?
