Fill up on some holiday cheer with these Healthy Gingerbread Muffins! Made with whole wheat flour, rich molasses, and warm spices, they’re a great start to your day and the very best part of a holiday breakfast.
Servings: 18 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled to room temperature
- 3 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
- Next, melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, syrup, molasses, vanilla, and cooled coconut oil together.
- In a separate bowl, stir the flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt together.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients, then use a rubber spatula (or hand mixer) to mix the ingredients together. Distribute the batter into the muffin tin (the recipe makes about 18 muffins, so you may need to bake in batches), then sprinkle each muffin with a little bit of cane sugar (optional).
- Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Leave them in the tin for 3 minutes, then carefully remove each muffin and place it on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
