Tips for Making Jumbo Gingerbread Muffins
Mix the Ingredients
Whisk together your dry ingredients- In a large bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Set aside.
Mix the cornstarch and water- In a medium bowl, using a spoon, mix together the cornstarch and water until it’s thin and watery. It will be thick and tacky at first.
Add in the wet ingredients and brown sugar- To the cornstarch water, add in the milk of choice, vegetable oil, brown sugar, molasses and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry- Slowly add them in a little at a time and whisk them together. Once it gets too thick, switch to using a spatula. Mix until combined.
Fill the Muffin Pans
Fill the muffin tin to the very top- Line your muffin pan with liners. If you don’t have liners, grease each muffin well in the tin. Use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin tins to the top. If you’re using the jumbo pan, use all the batter to fill 6 cups. You want them filled to the top because they are going to rise straight up.
Smooth the tops- Use the back of a spoon or a small knife to smooth the tops of the muffins.
Add more brown sugar- Sprinkle more brown sugar on the tops of each muffin before they go into the oven.
Baking Time
Bake the muffins- Bake the muffins until they are risen and springy to the touch. About 20-25 min.
Let the muffins cool- Let them cool almost completely in the muffin pan before trying to take them out. If you have paper liners, the muffins will come right out. If you don’t have liners, once they’re cool, use a small spatula to lift them out of the pan.
Serve the muffins- You can eat these warm and or at room temperature. Once they’re cool, store the muffins in an airtight container on your counter.
Can These Jumbo Gingerbread Muffins be Vegan?
Yes! Follow these three simple steps below to ensure the muffins are vegan:
- Use a gluten free flour that’s free from dairy- Some gluten free flours contain dairy. Make sure to read the label.
- Swap out the milk with a non dairy milk- For vegan, use a non dairy milk of choice.
Guys, these muffins are so delicious! If you love gingerbread…these are for you!
Not to mention it only takes 25 min to bake them, these gluten free, nut free, egg free and easily vegan muffins are the perfect homemade breakfast that can be made the same day! Enjoy!

Made these today with my favorite Chinese 5 Spice mix and added a streusel topping (GF flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter). The muffins were very moist and tasty! Will make these again!
