Gingerbread Muffins

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!

    1. I made these today and 1 damn cup of molasses is WAY TOO MUCH there’s absolutely no ginger flavor all you can taste is molasses and about made me frickin PUKE LAST NIGHTS SUPPER UP!! USE LESS MOLASSES !!PLEASE!! ½ cup should be plenty of molasses especially when the star of the recipe is ginger and can’t taste the ginger.
