The flavor of gingerbread... in a muffin!
Cranberry Gingerbread Muffins
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbs ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
3/4 water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup fresh cranberries
Pre-heat oven to 350°
Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Mix egg, water, yogurt, molasses and oil. Stir in dry ingredients. Fold in diced cranberries. Bake in muffin tins for 18-20 minutes.
These muffins are perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee, use a splash of egg nog in place of cream. Just right for a holiday treat. I adapted this recipe from Healthy Cooking Magazine.
For a more decadent treat, try the Chocolate Ginger Chunk Cookies. My favorite!!
Y'all enjoy!

Have an awesome Holiday!
ha..I stopped by your blog tonight at about midnight and saw this recipe and said.."ooh I have just about all of the ingredients for this"..except I was out of eggs/I substituted some apple sauce for that...and I had a mess of dried cranberries instead of fresh...I just let them sit in the liquid a little bit..and I had vanilla yogurt instead of plain..no biggy this gal knows how to 'improvisse" in a pinch....but anyhow..once my hubby saw the recipe he was like.."hop to it!" I've been craving gingerbread!"
ha.
So..I nearly quadrupled your recipe..and have a 1/4 sheet cake in the oven ,as well as about 20 muffins.
I'll freeze some of the muffins and the sheet cake for later/when my mom comes to visit.
Thanks so much for the recipe..my hubby thanks you too..you helped his gingerbread craving..the muffins are in the oven as I type and they look splendid..and the sheet cake is next up..can't believe I'm doing this at midnight..but I do love that man of mine.thanks Sandi!
OH wow - these muffins look really great!
I've been collecting the most fabulous recipes this week but this is the first gingerbread...which happens to be my favorite, so I can't wait to try this one! Thanks so much, Sandi and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Sounds heavenly! I want to try both recipes. It will be such a treat for my family and friends. I was wondering if I don't have ginger to dice, can I substitute the powdered ginger? I know it probably won't have the heavenly flavor, but sometimes I can't find gresh ginger.
Sandi, stop by my blog when you get a chance, I have something for you.
Tina~ you are so funny with the midnight baking! I bet the whole hose was smelling good. I'll stop by and check out your new blog.
DariusT & Sandi~ those muffins are worth a try.
Vicki~ the chunks of candied ginger really make the cookie, but I bet the flavor would be good with just ginger.
Melissa~ I'm on my way over!
