Honey-Glazed Gingerbread Muffins

[Worker Bee]

I love ginger stuff -- gingerbread cookies, soft gingerbread with a lemon sauce. Ginger anything. Love the smell when it's baking, too.

These are SO good. Enjoy


"All the good gingerbread flavor in a moist, tender muffin. These are
honey-glazed during baking, making them extra good!"
