Mini Gingerbread Muffins

mini gingerbread muffins
 
Today, I just felt like making something special.  Something you just don't have everyday.  I decided to make gingerbread muffins.  It seems that the only time you hear about gingerbread is Christmas time.  Why not make some in April or whenever you feel like you want something warm and sweet and spicy.  This recipe is simple and makes 48 mini muffins.  Hope you like it.

Please clarify. Is that light/ table molasses or dark molasses?

Anne:
The only molasses available locally is Grandma's original unsulphured molasses. That is what I use for any recipe that calls for molasses. Hope that is helpful.
Warm regards,
