Feeling A Little Bitter Gingerbread Muffins

 

The reason for this title has to do with current events in U.S. government. I will say no more.

This is based on a Betty Crocker recipe. I simply wanted to make  a basic gingerbread muffin that wasn’t too sweet, and I remember these not being too sweet.

The only couple of things I did differently was to add some Angostura bitters to the batter, and since I didn’t have any allspice, I didn’t add that.

Also, I tend to fill my cupcakes a little on the full side, so I only came up with 10, not 12 muffins, as the recipe suggests.

The batter looked like a spreadable caramel, and I could smell the Angostura bitters while filling the cupcake tray.

Overall, I was very pleased with this recipe.

I’m still a little bitter, though. Maybe I need a cocktail or three, preferably some made with Angostura bitters!
