The little Gingerbread Men have stolen the show for long enough. It’s time to get back to basics and put the spicy, festive, and nostalgic taste of gingerbread back into a beautifully moist and dense gingerbread spice muffins recipe. Everyone loves muffins especially ones topped with cookies and sweet and cinnamon frosting!<\/p>\n

This comforting dense texture of a moist recipe packed with the flavour of festive spices will endear young and old. All without the refined sugar and black treacle traditionally used in this recipe. I use Maple syrup or Molasses as a healthier alternative all throughout the recipe. <\/p>\n

This recipe is a firm favourite in my range of healthy festive treats especially in the mini version! So, this is a great addition to your Christmas baking recipe collection.<\/p>\n

Young helpers will delight in helping with the finishing touches. Piping the frosting on top of cooled buns and placing cooled cookies on top. Finally finishing off with a magical sprinkling of cinnamon. For extra creativity let them draw gingerbread faces on the cookies using a nice thin nozzle. <\/p>\n

The lighter ingredients used will leave your family, children and guests feeling wonderfully satisfied without any of the fullness of traditional muffin recipes. <\/p>\n

I adore the smell of fresh cloves and cinnamon so I grind it fresh for this recipe, but the dried seasoning will work just as well. A great tip is if you have fresh cinnamon sticks or cloves just place them in boiling water in saucepan and keep them simmering for about half an hour. <\/p>\n

Turn off after half hour of simmering and let this lovely, nostalgic festive aroma of clove and cinnamon circulate throughout your house. It will last for a few hours. It\u2019s a natural air freshening too so it will neutralise the air even after the scent is gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My toddler has developed a dairy allergy. <\/h2>\n

You can easily swap out the yogurt and cream for coconut yogurt which is delicious too! For the cookies, I have another great recipe for vegan cookies here<\/a> <\/p>\n

Milk can be replaced by oat, almond or soya milk. Vegan Butter can replace the regular Butter.<\/p>\n
