I love baking these gingerbread mini muffins once the holidays roll around. I bake them In big batches and send them to school with my kids and pack them for stroller snacks. The nice thing is that they are bright and bold tasting without being overly-sweet. Instead of heavy frosting there is a light lemon glaze that makes them much more packable and portable than traditional cupcakes. Plus, they make nice stand-ins for Christmas cookies when you just need a break. If you don’t have a lot of gingerbread lovers in your family, simply freeze half of this batch for later.
