Gingerbread Muffins image

Growing up, I adored my mom's gingerbread cake with lemon sauce, so I re-created the combination for my family. The spice- and molasses-flavored muffins spread with homemade lemon curd are a new-generation favorite.-Kelly Trupkiewicz, Fort Collins, Colorado

I'm not sure about the molasses in this recipe. I've never cooked with it before.

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The molasses gave them a rich flavor and the spices were perfectly balanced.

The muffins were easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a mini muffin tin and they were done in about 15 minutes. They are the perfect size for a quick snack or breakfast on the go.
