Muffins chock full of gingerbread spice for the holidays.

Gingerbread Muffins

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

It’s time for #MuffinMonday again and for November, I wanted to do something for the holidays, since by the next time I post muffins with the group, the year will almost be over. So I decided on gingerbread muffins. And I was just going  to make them in normal muffin cups but I came across some silicone cupcake molds in the shape of gingerbread men, and bought some. So I have put some of the batter in those and the remainder in paper liners (with gingerbread designs on them!)

I’ve  decorated with some Wilton cookie icing in the bottle, since I had half a bottle leftover from something else. It does  make doing the gingerbread faces easy enough. I drizzled some across the round muffins as well. Otherwise if I were just doing round muffins, I probably would have just sprinkled the tops with coarse sugar before baking. But you can do whichever you like.

The spice in these is as close as I could match to Swedish Pepperkakor, and probably not as much like the German type gingerbread, which I think leaves this recipe with a bit more clove flavor than the traditional German. But German and Swedish foods holding many similarities, I wouldn’t be surprised if some German recipes have this same profile.

But anyway,  I hope you enjoy these as much as we do here. I love how cute the silicone cups made the muffins. I am going to have to find more of those so I can do a full batch that way (without taking all day long with the baking).

Tomorrow I will be posting my recipe for cinnamon roll pie, which I had over Thanksgiving. The crepes I had hoped to have posted by now should post now on Wednesday. The recipe that was there (Swiss Chalet Mac & Cheese) has been shoved off to Wednesday the 14th. Blogs are like this-  things being shifted around like sands in the  desert. In a perfect world, things would go just as planned, but where’s the fun in that? Haha! C’ya tomorrow-
