Giant Gingerbread Muffins Recipes

EASY PEASY GINGERBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 220C / 425F / Gas mark 7 and lightly grease a 12 hole muffin pan or use liners.
• In a medium sized bowl add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, all the spices and salt and give them a little whisk together.
• Pour in the buttermilk, sugar, oil, eggs, molasses and vanilla extract. Give everything a gentle mix together.
• Please be gentle so your muffins remain light and fluffy. Over mixing the batter at this point will give you tough hard muffins.
• Scoop the batter into your muffin pan filling each hole about 2/3rds full. You should have enough batter to fill the 12 holes.
• If using sprinkle the tops of your muffins with a little coarse sugar.
• Pop the pan into your hot oven. After 5 minutes reduce the heat in your oven to 190C / 375F / Gas mark 5 and bake for a further 15 minutes. The initial burst of heat will give them the high domes and the lower heat will bake them through without burning.
• Check your muffins after the remaining 13 minutes to see if they are baked through, insert a skewer and if it comes out clean then they are baked through. If not give them another minute and check again.
• Carefully remove the hot muffins from the pan to a wire rack to fully cool down then enjoy.
• Kept in an airtight tin these muffins will last for 5 days but like a lot of baked goods they are best consumed on the day of baking.
• These muffins will also freeze for 2 months.
