Gingerbread Spice Muffins

The Holiday season is coming fast, quick and in a hurry, so it’s time to stock up on baking supplies and try a few new festive recipes like these Gingerbread Spice Muffins.

Gingerbread is one of my favorite flavors, but I don’t always like the texture, so these muffins make a great alternative to the traditional recipe.

We love muffins because they are so versatile. You can make them in pretty much any flavor that you desire and you can make them as healthy or as dessert-like as you prefer. They’re also portable, kid-friendly and super easy to whip on a moments notice.

I especially love a good holiday muffin because you can serve it for breakfast, snacktime or take to your next holiday party and they’re loved by all ages. Grab your muffin pans and let’s get baking!

What’s in Gingerbread Spice Muffins?

  • all-purpose flour
  • baking soda
  • ground cinnamon
  • ground ginger
  • ground cloves
  • salt
  • unsalted butter
  • sugar
  • egg
  • molasses
  • hot water

How to Make Gingerbread Spice Muffins:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line one and a half 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners.

In medium mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the molasses to the butter mixture and beat to combine.

Next, add the egg and beat to combine.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter, mixing between each addition.

Lastly, stir in the hot water.

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
