Molasses Muffins.
When I set out to make muffins for breakfast, my original plan was to make them gingerbread. And this plan would have been marvelous, if I had any ginger in the house. But I hadn’t. Or haven’t? Anyway, I didn’t. Thankfully, I did have cocoa powder! And it fit in very well.
These muffins have a hearty flavor, and a soft texture. They’re not too sweet, so they’re perfect for breakfast or an easy snack.
