Adorable & Easy Gingerbread Muffins Shaped Like Little Houses
Take a look at these Adorable & Easy Gingerbread Muffins that are shaped like little houses! Of course, you could make this recipe with a regular muffin tin, and they are Delicious! But, for a little fun, we decided to try this Gingerbread House Silicone Mold out that a friend of ours so kindly let us borrow. To sum up, I think they turned out pretty darn cute!
Why You Should Try This Easy Gingerbread Muffins Recipe
Yes, it’s true, I used this cute little silicone mold. But, this recipe will work perfectly for a regular muffin pan. So, this recipe will make 12 regular sized / shaped muffins. Also, you could use a different variety of fresh milled flour. This recipe is written for Einkorn, however, it would work great with soft white wheat flour, or spelt, or even a combination of both! Also, the molasses adds that deep rich Gingerbread taste! So, don’t be afraid to try it out!
This is my favorite Molasses to use while I am cooking! You can find it HERE.
Why Einkorn?
Einkorn is said to be the original wheat, or “virgin” wheat. It is tricky to use, but once you get the hang of it, you may come to love it. Also, it has a sweet nutty flavor. Because of Einkorn’s different structure, it has a higher protein, yet lower potential to form gluten. So many people have found that they are able to tolerate Einkorn, even with a gluten sensitivity. (*It should be noted that a true Celiac should not eat any wheat, including Einkorn.) Because of this, Einkorn recipes have been in higher demand. There are some Einkorn brands I have not been happy with, but others I have rally come to like. So, here is one that I have been very happy with, HERE
This photo shows the difference between Whole Einkorn (smaller& pointier), and hard white wheat. So It seems, Einkorn can be tricky to find sometimes. But, I have been happy with the Einkorn I bought HERE.
