Gingerbread is one of those treats I love making every winter. Even though it’s great any time of year, I typically think of making it in the late fall or winter. It’s just a habit, I guess. Winter just wouldn’t seem like winter without some gingerbread to enjoy!

When I made these gingerbread muffins, I thought it would be yummy to add some mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter too, and I’m really glad I tried that out! I definitely give a thumbs up to this chocolate chip-gingerbread combination! icon

And I recommend adding some extra chocolate chips on the top center of each muffin right after baking for an extra touch of chocolate goodness! icon
