Ingredients
The following ingredients have 12 Servings
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2/3 cup Celestial Seasonings Gingerbread Spice tea
- For Crumb Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oats (I used quick oats)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Put 2/3 cup water in a mug. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Add two Celestial Seasonings Gingerbread Spice tea bags and set aside.
- Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl, flour - brown sugar.
- Take the tea bags and squeeze well into your mug. This gets all the flavor out of them.
- In another bowl whisk egg, vanilla, molasses, syrup and brewed tea.
- Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into muffin cups until 3/4 full. I used an ice cream scoop.
- In a small bowl mix all the crumb topping ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix. It should resemble a coarse crumb.
- Sprinkle generously on top of muffins.
- Bake for 17-19 minutes or until tops are fully set. Do not overbake. You can also check with a toothpick.
