| Gingerbread Breakfast Muffins Ingredients: | |
| 2 C | whole wheat pastry flour |
| 1 tsp | baking powder |
| 1 tsp | baking soda |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| 1 tbsp | ground ginger |
| 2 tsp | cinnamon |
| 1/4 tsp | cloves |
| 3 tbsp | canola oil |
| 3/4 c | brown sugar |
| 2 | eggs |
| 6 tbsp | molasses |
| 1 c | raisins |
| 1 1/2 c | shredded carrots |
| 3/4 c | water |
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Line the muffin tin with liners and lightly spray the liners with cooking spray
Whisk together the oil, brown sugar, eggs, molasses and water. Once well combined add the carrots and raisins. Set aside.
Mix together the flour, baking power, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth.
Fill each cup approximately halfway.
Bake in the oven for 18 minutes or until cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
Extra Information:
You don’t want to cook these too long. They are finished when there are a few crumbs that cling to the toothpick. If you cook them too long they may dry out and then you’ll miss the delicious moist texture these offer.
The spice is delicious. Absolutely reminiscent of a gingerbread cookie. If you have old spices the flavor won’t be as strong. If you’d like a full gingerbread flavor make sure your spices are fresh.
I mixed the wet ingredients together first to allow the raisins a bit of time to soak in the liquid. This helped them plump up a bit before the baking process and made for very nice juicy raisins in the muffins.
This recipe makes nice loaves. After I made the first 12 muffins I decided to use the rest of the batter to create 2 mini loaves. I cooked the loaves for 30 minutes and they came out beautifully. It would be a lovely hostess gift at Christmas.
Muffins freeze well. Make a couple of batches and freeze 4 at a time. Get them out the night before and you’ve got a tasty, homemade breakfast on the run.
Enjoy!
