Move over pumpkin, it’s time to Gingerbread all things starting with these delicious Gingerbread Muffins made with Silk Almond Beverage.
Gingerbread has been around since 992 A.D., so it’s clear that it’s passed the test of time, far exceeding the popularity of the Pumpkin Spice Latte (although, they do complement each other nicely). Gingerbread is a holiday staple and because these are so quick to whip up, you’ll have no problem finding the time to make them.
This recipe makes 12 muffins, but it comes with a warning; they won’t last long. So if making these for a crowd, you may want to double the recipe. Also, if you’re selling your house, I recommend baking these. They make your house smell divine.
Finally, don’t forget that this is the season of giving, so share these Gingerbread Muffins with your co-workers, your friends and your family. Sharing is caring.
