GINGERBREAD MINI-MUFFINS (JASON'S DELI COPY CAT )



Gingerbread Mini-Muffins (Jason's Deli Copy Cat ) image

Jason's Deli is one of my favorite places to eat. Their mini gingerbread muffins are so delicious and are little bites of Christmas! The best thing about this recipe is how simple it is, you can whip it up in about 10 minutes. However, in my opinion these gingerbread muffins taste MUCH better if you let them sit for a while....

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c dark brown sugar
2 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 egg
1/2 c molasses
1 c buttermilk**
1/2 c unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray/butter muffin tins.
  • 2. Combine sugar, flour, soda, salt and spices in a bowl.
  • 3. In a separate bowl mix the egg, molasses, milk, and butter.
  • 4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just blended.
  • 5. Add to muffin tins** (about 3/4 full, these muffins don't rise too much, so you don't have to worry about them overflowing) and bake for 15 minutes. If making normal sized muffins, it'll be more like 20 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 6. **If you don't have buttermilk (I almost never do), just add 1 tbsp. of white vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of regular milk and let sit out for about 10 minutes.**

TRIPLE-GINGER MUFFINS



Triple-Ginger Muffins image

A baked good for the true ginger fanatic, these muffins pack some serious spice thanks to the addition of grated fresh ginger, ground ginger and minced crystallized ginger. Molasses, a key ingredient in traditional gingerbread, gives the muffins a beautiful golden hue and helps keep them moist for days - if they last that long. (Any variety of molasses will work here, but there may be some color variation depending on the brand used.) For larger, bakery-style muffins, use a jumbo muffin pan and bake the muffins for a few extra minutes.

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup/201 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
3/4 cup/108 grams, plus 3 tablespoons/27 grams minced crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, eggs, milk, molasses and grated ginger, and whisk until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. (Be careful not to overmix! The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Stir in 3/4 cup crystallized ginger, reserving the remaining 3 tablespoons for the topping.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved crystallized ginger onto the tops of the muffins, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the muffins spring back when lightly pressed. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully transfer muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely.
