These muffins were amazing! I was looking for a recipe that would be similar to the gingerbread muffins served at Jason's Deli restaurants, and this one was so close that it might as well be the same! Great molasses flavor with just the right amount of spices, not too sticky, not too dry. I did make them in a mini-muffin pan, which baked in 15 minutes. These are a hit in my house, my kids have asked I make them for breakfast regularly - thank you!

These were terrible! Nothing like the Jason’s Deli muffins….Very dry and not sweet enough! I followed the recipe exactly as written! Waste of time and ingredients!

The flavor and texture was really good, but they sunk a little, next time I will decrease the baking powder to 1/2 tspoon or maybe it was because I filled the cups a little bit more than 3/4. I WILL BAKE THEM AGAIN

well these were delicious and i even made them into bran muffins.. i usually do to all my muffins by putting a mix of whole grain flour, wheat bran and germ in for the amount of flour asked.. and these turned out wonderful.. i put in a tsp of vanilla as well and mine were done in 16 min.. perfect!! smelled wonderful and tasted wonderful.. everyone was happy. i'll be keeping this one around.

Smelled great, tasted great. I also froze some to take to my mom's for Christmas, and they were good thawed and heated in the microwave for Christmas brunch. Excellent recipe.
