Is there anything that screams “festive” than gingerbread treats fresh out of the oven during the holidays? I’ve always been a big fan of gingerbread because the balance of sweetness with warming spices is just next-level delicious.
Every Christmas I make it my mission to bake a few gingerbread recipes to share with loved ones, and this year I realized I have 10 gingerbread recipes on my site! These wonderful baked goods can be enjoyed for breakfasts, snacks, or desserts, in my opinion, and have the perfect blend of sweet molasses and cozy spices.
What gives gingerbread its flavor?
Everyone’s spice blend varies slightly, but for the basics you’ll need:
- Ground ginger (okay, this is a must)
- Cinnamon
- Allspice or cloves
Some people use nutmeg or throw in cardamom for good measure. You do you! The spice blend, paired with blackstrap molasses is the key to gingerbread flavor.
It’s the perfect (and maybe only) time of year to bake up these recipes and share them with everyone you love! Oh, fluffy gingerbread muffins? Of course. A delicious snacking cake? You know it. Iconic gingerbread oatmeal cream pies? Ummm, say less.
Pick a few to add to your holiday brunch or dessert table, and watch guests swoon.
