I know—I just admitted I “don’t really love gingerbread…”
And now here we are.
Muffins. Gingerbread muffins. Hello, hypocrite.
To be clear: I’m not a fan of traditional gingerbread cookies, especially when they’re crisp. But once or twice a season I crave that cozy holiday flavor—think gingerbread lattes or warm-spiced baked goods—just to feel festive.
When muffins are hot from the oven and softened butter melts into every crumb, creating that comforting, buttery breakfast you could happily eat every day in December, I suddenly want gingerbread. Or at least the scent of it. Weird? Maybe. But it works.
