It’s Christmas Eve! So, Gingerbread Muffins for breakfast seem fitting. Whether it’s breakfast, dessert, or just a fireside snack, you’re going to want these muffins in your life ASAP. They’re unbelievably soft (thank you, pumpkin!), sweet- but not overly done (thank you, molasses and Vitafiber!) and because you bake them briefly at 425F, the tops have the perfect crispness to contrast the buttery softness of the body. Oh, and aside from the chips, these babies are vegan too! Hope you love these Gingerbread Muffins as much as I do!
