Favorite Ingredients Friday (Gingerbread Cupcakes)

Good Friday to you all! It's time for another Favorite Ingredients Friday recipe exchange!

Upcoming Themed Schedule

November 2- Cookies
November 16- Muffins

The recipe I'm about to share is one that I found on Better Homes and Gardens. These are so good! I made these and took a batch to work using my new cake/cupcake carrier. (I got my carrier at Michael's for $10 by using one of their 50% coupons!)


Gingerbread Cupcakes

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Dash salt
1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons cooking oil
Sifted powdered sugar (optional)

Preparation:

Line eight 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, soda, and salt; set aside.

In a small mixing bowl stir together the egg white, molasses, water, and oil. Stir molasses mixture into flour mixture just until blended. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when pressed lightly in center. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm or cool. Makes 8 cupcakes (8 servings).

Now, I look forward to seeing your Favorite Ingredients Friday recipe! I won't be able to visit your recipes right away but fear not, I will stop by to visit your recipe as soon as I can!

Don't forget to link your specific recipe post link on Mr. Linky so I can see what's cooking at your house!

Oh, and be sure to put the title of your recipe in parenthesis! It makes it so much quicker for me to go back and search for recipes as I build my weekly menu.

You know, I don't typically like gingerbread, but I think that's more the texture. I bet I'd love these!! I'll be giving them a try soon. Thanks!

Gingerbread cupcakes sound scrumptious especially at this time of year. :) Molasses is a great ingredient and not seen much in recent recipes. Thanks for sharing.
