Gingerbread Muffins
Great with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, these Gingerbread Muffins are full of spices and topped with crunchy white sugar sprinkles.
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Butter melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Applesauce
- 1/2 cup Molasses
- 1 Egg
- 3/4 cup Milk
- White sugar sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tray with baking cups.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder and salt with a whisk. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, stir together butter, brown sugar, applesauce, molasses and egg until combined.
- Add dry ingredients and milk and stir just until ingredients are combined. Over-mixing will result in a very dense muffin.
- Scoop batter evenly into muffin cups (Using a ice cream scoop is helpful).
