How to Make Gingerbread Muffins
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or butter.
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave for a 30-45 seconds to liquify.
In a small mixing bowl, mix the melted coconut oil and molasses together.
In a microwave safe mixing bowl, mix the maple syrup, Greek yogurt, egg, milk, and ginger.
Microwave this mixture for about 30 seconds to warm it up to approximately room temperature. (you also want to keep the coconut oil from hardening)
Then, add the coconut oil and molasses mixture.
Add the flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and mix slightly to combine.
Scoop batter evenly into the muffin tin.
Sprinkle the top of each muffin with Turbinado sugar.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until tops are firm to the touch.
Cool slightly.
