Healthy Gingerbread Muffins
I love anything gingerbread flavored this time of year. Something about the warm spices and molasses that just gives me all the holiday feels. These Healthy Gingerbread Muffins are a delicious and comforting recipe to bake this holiday season. They have the perfect texture with the flavors of a classic gingerbread cookie. These muffins are healthier and a great way to start the morning during the holiday season.

The batter for these muffins is super easy to whip up. They don’t have butter like most muffins do because they get the moistness from yogurt and a little bit of almond butter. I also tested gluten free flour, and they turned out perfectly for any gluten free friends out there. The spices and molasses are what gives these muffins that recognizable gingerbread flavor. The batter is sweetened with coconut sugar to keep it refined sugar free. Then the dusting of powdered sugar not only makes them beautiful, it gives them that famous gingerbread finish.

Muffins are one of my favorite meal prep breakfast options for a busy week. These Healthy Gingerbread Muffins have been the best to pull out of the freezer in the morning when I am in a rush or want an easy breakfast. Plus, they pair amazing with my morning coffee.

Gingerbread has to be my favorite classic holiday flavor. I love the way it taste, smells, and how versatile the flavouring can be. These gingerbread muffins would make a wonderful gift to family and friends around the holidays. They smell amazing, taste delicious, and just bring so much holiday cheer to my household. I highly recommend giving these a try this holiday season. And, if you love the ginger flavor like me, then be sure to try my Vegan Gingersnaps.
