Forever Nigella 10 - Gingerbread Muffins
Just to let you know, this post was written before I started the paleo diet to help ease my psoriasis. Nowadays I eat a more allergy-friendly diet, but leave these older, non-paleo posts up in case they are useful to readers, as I know not everyone eats the same as I do. Thanks for your understanding.
They
were easy to make, in the usual way - pour wet ingredients into dry, mix until
just combined and bake in muffin cases. I loved the smell of cinnamon and
ginger that immediately wafted up as soon as the milky mixture went in to the
flour mixture; really festive.
After
their 20 minute bake, they came out dark, bouncy and slightly sticky, as they
should. They did taste quite treacly, the flavour of the black treacle does
dominate. But you soon get that festive kick from the ginger and cinnamon - absolutely gorgeous.
Even after
3 days in an air-tight container they stayed squidgy, moist and tasty so
they're great for having on hand to share with someone over a cuppa at
Christmas. Or bake a batch and give them away as home-made pressies - I did.
The verdict? Easy and satisfying to make, and great for something different
over Christmas.

A belated reply but finally I am getting around to all the FN entries - thank you so much for taking part.
ReplyDeleteHaving just made the sticky gingerbread from Nigella Christmas I know just how wonderful her gingerbread is! I've never done a muffin version although I have baked the same batter as cupcakes.
Happy New Year!
Thanks Sarah, always love to take part in Forever Nigella! :)
