It is getting chilly outside and I know just what I’m doing this weekend! I’ll be inside whipping up a batch of these Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Muffins, because nothing says December and a comforting holiday breakfast like a warm gingerbread muffin.

So excited to try these!! gingerbread and a muffin? im in love 🙂
These look so good! Might have to make them this weekend. Is bake time the same for the 12 mini muffins or is it less?
You will love! I’d keep your eye on it around 8 minutes earlier!
These muffins look wonderful. My son-in-law is not only gluten sensitive but allergic to all kinds of tree nuts. Can another kind of wheat free but not nut flour be substituted for the almond flour to make these?
Hi Anne, I’ve never made it with another flour so can’t promise results. Let me know how it goes!
Lexi these look absolutely delish!! It’s also pretty cool that you and my daughter have the same name.. 🙂 I’ll be baking these with her this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Love it!!! Enjoy! Nothing like mother-daughter time.
Wow thank you for this recipe! I’ve been craving gingerbread all season but haven’t found one that’s gluten free and not filled with junk. Just made these and they taste delicious!
So happy you liked them!!! 🙂 Happy holidays!
Hi Lexi, what to do with the cranberries and walnut? Step 5 says chocolate chips but chocolate chips aren’t on the ingredient list…?
Add them in step 5 🙂
Hi Lexi,
Am keen to make these but would like to substitute in something else for the apple sauce. Any suggestions please? Cheers
They look so tasty. I love natural. I tried baking these a few weeks ago. It did not go well. I’m going to try again using your recipe. Natural food, natural health.
Thank you for sharing!
You’ll have success with this one!
Wow Lexi, I’m definitely going to try the muffin it look delicious
Thank you!
These turned out amazing! I added a little molasses for extra flavor and left out the chocolate chips (I actually spaced and forgot them) and they were delish. Gave them to some family members for Christmas morning and got rave reviews! Thanks, Lexi!
So happy they were great Kim!
Delicious recipe and thanks for share. Will try this recipe at home. 🙂
My kids absolutely loved these. Thanks for a great recipe!

I’ve probably already commented before on these delicious things but I have to do it again. These are our FAVORITE treats to keep in the house. I keep a supply in the freezer that can go into the microwave at a moment’s notice. These are THAT GOOD!!!!!!!
