Ginger Spice Muffin Mix Recipes

SUGAR AND SPICE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat together oil, 3/4 cup sugar, egg and milk. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture, just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
• While muffins are baking, mix together 3/4 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. While muffins are still hot, dip tops in melted butter and then in cinnamon sugar mixture.

SPICY GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Cream your butter and sugar together then crack those eggs, and beat them into the butter mix.
• Add the molasses.
• Whisk the dry ingredients together.
• Curdle the milk with vinegar, then add to the butter mix, alternating with dry ingredients.
• Grease the pans and pour the batter in.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched.

FRESH GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease 16 muffin pans.
• If you have a food processor, process the ginger until it is in tiny pieces. Or, hand chop it into fine pieces. You should have about 1/4 cup. It is better too much ginger than too little.
• Put the ginger and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a small skillet and cook over medium heat until the sugar has melted and the mixture is hot. Do not walk away from the pan - the sugar will melt quite quickly. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
• Put the lemon zest and 3 tablespoons sugar in the food processor and process until the peel is in small bits. Or, sprinkle the sugar over the zest and chop by hand. Add the zest and sugar mix to the ginger mixture and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the butter slightly, then add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until smooth. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the buttermilk and mix until blended. Add the flour, salt and baking soda and beat until smooth. Add the lemon-ginger mixture and mix well.
• Spoon the batter into the muffin cups so that each cup is about 3/4 full. Bake 15-20 minutes. Serve warm.

PUMPKIN MUFFINS WITH GINGER AND SPICE!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray 12 muffin tins with nonstick spray.
• Place the butter in a mixing bowl and beat at high speed with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is very fluffy.
• Add the egg and mix on low speed to combine. Add the pumpkin puree and grated ginger root and mix again.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice together.
• Fold in half of the flour mixture. Stir in the buttermilk. Fold in the remaining flour mixture and the crystallized ginger. The batter should be smooth, but be careful to not overmix.
• Fill the prepared tins halfway with the batter. Top with chopped nuts.
• Bake until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer the muffin tins to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins.
