Gingerbread at holiday time

I've decided to give the gingerbread men a break this year. In the past, I have posted my recipe for gingerbread men. I still wanted a bite of gingerbread...without having to chase little gingerbread men around the kitchen.

The flavor of gingerbread... in a muffin!
Cranberry Gingerbread Muffins
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbs ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
3/4 water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup fresh cranberries
Pre-heat oven to 350°


Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Mix egg, water, yogurt, molasses and oil. Stir in dry ingredients. Fold in diced cranberries. Bake in muffin tins for 18-20 minutes.

These muffins are perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee, use a splash of egg nog in place of cream. Just right for a holiday treat. I adapted this recipe from Healthy Cooking Magazine.
For a more decadent treat, try the Chocolate Ginger Chunk Cookies. My favorite!!

Y'all enjoy!
