Simple and Delicious Homemade Gingerbread Muffins

It’s no surprise that we love muffins around here. They’re perfect for snacks, breakfast, lunchboxes, or gifts. They’re easy to make and they freeze great too. What’s not to love?

This little gem is no exception. It’s a simple, no frills muffin. Stir up the ingredients, plop them in a pan and bake. But they’re almost addicting in their simplicity. Tender muffins, packed with gingerbread spices, and topped with coarse sugar for a little bit of crunch. They’re delicious served warm slathered with butter. But I think the flavor is even better the second day. They freeze beautifully, and a basket of these muffins makes a great gift during the holidays.

How to Make Homemade Gingerbread Muffins:

Mix the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, brown sugar, milk, oil, eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Bake. Scoop the batter into a muffin pan that has been greased or lined with paper liners. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Reduce the heat and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Enjoy!

Tips & Suggestions:

Tasty Additions:

For a more intense ginger flavor, add some minced crystallized ginger
White chocolate chips
Dried cranberries
Instead of the coarse sugar, dip the tops in a simple glaze. Whisk together 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Allow the muffins to cool for about 10 minutes before dipping in glaze. Add some holiday sprinkles for a festive Christmas touch!
