Snappy Ginger Muffins
I LOVE Gingerbread of any kind, and these Snappy Ginger Muffins are absolutely scrumptious. Molasses, cinnamon and ginger give these muffins that great Gingerbread taste. I thought the muffins turned out wonderfully well.

I baked the muffins in miniature muffin pans along with some miniature Poppy Seed Muffins for an event at our church. I love when people ask me to bring baked goods to events. I was grateful to be able to try out this recipe that I had been looking at for a few weeks. We didn’t get to go to the event because we were babysitting our granddaughter. But I heard back that the muffins were scarfed down like crazy–especially by the kids!
Snappy Ginger Muffins are relatively easy to make and a great treat for breakfast or brunch. You can serve them with your morning coffee, but they also freeze well if you need to make them in advance. These muffins pack up well for picnics, kids’ sporting events, school lunches, tailgating parties or potlucks. Try them with some apple cider or serve with soup any time of the year.
Whatever you decide to make them for, you’ll find everyone devours them! Snappy Ginger Muffins are just really, really good. You’ll enjoy every bite. 🙂
