Gingerbread Muffins Recipe

small gingersnap muffins
Enjoy the delicious flavor of gingerbread cookies enveloped in a muffin for breakfast or as a mid-morning treat. Turbinado sugar sprinkled on top of each muffin adds a hint of crunch while ginger, cinnamon, and cloves offer a wonderfully spiced aroma. Prepare these gingerbread muffins on a snowy afternoon or before the holidays as a special treat for house guests. If you’ve been around the Spice Kitchen + Bar blog for a long, you’ve likely noticed that I love muffins. My strawberry muffins recipe remains one of my classic favorites although these gingerbread muffins are better suited for the upcoming winter months. Nothing is more satisfying on a snowy winter day than a cup of coffee in hand and a spiced treat to accompany it.
