    Iced Gingerbread Muffins


    Spicy, dark brown, fluffy, cinnamon and molasses-infused vegan gingerbread has been my baking obsession the past week. And December is pretty much the one month you can fully obsess about gingerbread and not blink an eye. So grab some blackstrap molasses and lets start some seriously holiday-yummy aromas brewing in your kitchen!..

    This gingerbread bakes up fluffy and spiced. A light crinkle of icing on top.

    The secret ingredients to gingerbread: molasses and of course ginger. I like fresh ginger, but you can use ginger powder if need be.

    Jazz them up:
    * Add fresh or dried cranberries
    * Add a thicker vanilla bean frosting
    * Add chopped pecans or walnuts
    * Add chocolate chips!
