Who wants a bite?

How do I make my muffins lighter and fluffier? 

When you have your eggs and milk at room temperature, this can help to create a fluffier muffin to enjoy. 

What is the difference between a cupcake and a muffin?

Cupcakes are more of a dessert while muffins can actually be eaten any time. However, most people prefer to enjoy muffins during the morning hours or with brunch. 

Cupcakes are also sweeter in flavor and tend to be frosted as well. Muffins might have a light dusting or a powder of sugar but typically aren’t top with a thick frosting of any kind. 

Have fun making these easy gingerbread muffins. They’re a simple way to get that awesome gingerbread flavor and taste!
