Ingredients

Scale
  • Ginger Pecan Crumble
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Gingerbread Muffins
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • Pinch ground allspice
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup hot strongly brewed coffee
  • 1/3 cup mild molasses

Instructions

  1. Stir together brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl; stir in pecans, ginger and melted butter until mixture is crumbly; set aside. (Makes about 1 3/4 cups)
  2. Heat the oven to 375°F. Line two muffin pans with 16 standard baking cups. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and allspice until well blended; set aside.
  3. In a glass measuring cup, mix together the hot brewed coffee and the molasses until blended; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the sugars, beating until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating just until blended. Slowly add the flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with the coffee mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the Ginger-Pecan crumble over the tops of the muffins.
  6. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes then carefully transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
