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!
