These gingerbread muffins were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I think next time I'll add a little more moisture to the batter, maybe some applesauce or yogurt.

These gingerbread muffins were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect holiday treat. I think next time I'll use a little less ginger in the recipe.
