These gingerbread muffins, are moist, tender and filled with chunks of crystallized ginger. They make the perfect holiday breakfast or snack.
Today I’m teaming up with two other fantastic humans/bloggers to share some scrumptious holiday breakfasts.
Christina out did herself with the most festive of waffle recipes.
Tart cranberries combined with sweet citrus create a flavor profile perfect for a holiday breakfast. Lather in syrup or honey and never go back to plain waffles again.
Rachel whipped up some of the best looking overnight oats you’re spoon and taste buds will ever meet.
Your favorite warm winter drink is now a healthy breakfast treat, plus it is gluten free, vegan-friendly and filled with chocolate granola chunks.
But let’s talk about these muffins.
Alright, at this point, you’re either PUMPED or rolling your eyes that I’m sharing yet another gingerbread recipe, but alas this is the last gingerbread of the season. And because it’s the last, we’re going out with a bang. A bang in the form of muffins, gingerbread muffins.
These muffins are so moist, tender and packed with not only gingerbread flavor, but actual chunks of crystallized ginger. Yup. I went there. And now I’m never going back (and you won’t want to either.)
I was about to type “I think dry muffins should be illegal,” then I stopped and actually thought about what I was saying and realized that’s a ludicrous notion. Obviously, I wouldn’t want anyone penalized under the judicial system for a less than delicious muffin, however dry muffins do really suck.
In fact, dry baked goods are a total drag. Nothing makes me more sad than excitedly biting into a scone and finding out it’s drier than the Sahara desert. Ok, that was another gross exaggeration, plenty of things make me much sadder than that, but yeah boo to dry baked goods.
That’s why I like to keep ‘em real think ‘n juicy (wrong words?) with help from my bff: nut butter. Besides drizzling it over errythang and eating it straight from the jar, nut butter is great for cooking and baking.
