Healthy Gingerbread Muffins

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Soft simple Healthy Gingerbread Muffins that are holiday perfect plain or extra special dressed up with a sprinkle of sugar and dreamy frosting dollop! Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free.

Healthy Gingerbread Muffins {vegan, gluten-free, oil-free}

Just when you thought I had forgotten about gingerbread…nope, not even close! Now that it is actually December, posting countless gingerbread things feels less weird than when I started like a month ago. There are at least a couple more ginger spiced recipes coming up on FF, and those are just the ones I know about at this point. There’s no telling what else my brain may gingerbread dream-up and beg me to make before Christmas.

Healthy Gingerbread Muffins {vegan, gluten-free, oil-free}

I may have mentioned it before, but growing up there was lots of cookie baking in my house for the holidays, and every year my sister and I made cookie houses. Well maybe not every year, but from the age at which I was coordinated enough to use a piping bag up until the age at which it was no longer cool.

I say houseS with an ‘s’ on the end because there was absolutely no sharing or joint effort involved. She hated gingerbread, I thought making a “gingerbread” house out of sugar cookie was a disgrace, so we both did our own thing.

She was much more ambitious than I was, making boats and tree houses and sky scrapers. They sometimes collapsed mid construction and rarely made it past 24 hours. But you know what collapsed cookie house tastes like? Still-standing cookie house. Cookie is cookie, and cookie is yummy. I on the other hand made most of my design decisions based on what candy I really wanted to eat afterwards (and during!), purposely over-buying just in case.

I always looked forward to cookie house day immensely–starting off with big plans and ending with a big stomach ache. Good times!

So I thought I would embarrass myself completely and dig up some old cookie house photos to share with you. Because that’s what the holidays are all about right, sharing? Sharing things that no one really asked for, that’s what I’m doing here today. And yes, yes I did crop myself out of the later ones because six year old me is much cuter than dorky glasses-wearing middle school me trying to pull off bangs…not a good look.

In the early days I kept things simple. Classic. Four cookie walls, white frosting glue, gum drop and candy cane landscaping, an obscene amount of M&Ms–that house could’ve come right out of a kit and saved my mom me lots of rolling, cutting, baking time. Where’s your imagination little Natalie?? Also I have no clue where that photo was taken because we never had black countertops or a black table…?

Then I got a little more ambitious, pulling off a two story house with upper level balcony. Although the lack of an actual door or windows is a little concerning. And the next year I kept it simple (and rather squat) in shape but with a retro diner-floor-inspired roof. Don’t mind the actual pound of frosting in the background with a spoon sitting in it…snacks for later.

There was the year I tried to go modern but the whole house ended up looking like it was melting. Except the Lifesaver chimney, that thing was on point! And the year I went 2D as if I was a theater set designer. And the year I made a castle complete with moat and penguin wearing a fuzzy chocolate hoodie. The year I ditched cookies completely, pretended pretzel sticks were Lincoln Logs (they are not), and built a log cabin. And no, the marshmallow insulation did not actually stay put between the logs.

Veggie House

And then the vegan year that I tried to make a veggie house. NOT recommended…stick to cookie! There were some years in between that I couldn’t find photos from, but I think that is enough abysmal architecture for one day.

For days afterwards dessert would consist of tearing the entire thing apart, salvaging the best candy first, and leaving the boring candy canes behind along with stale cookie and dried-out too crusty icing.

So that’s a little peak into holidays in my house growing up. And a peak into where my sweet tooth got it’s start. Not the most nutritious tradition, but one that made for a lot of fun and delicious memories. And quite a few messy, crumbling-cookie disaster memories too!

There was even this one time in college I had my whole class build cookie houses as the hands-on component of a presentation in my interior design class, so I suppose I have these messy years of practice to thank for that grade.

Did you ever build a cookie house? If so, I need to hear all about it. Photos welcomed!

Anyways…back to the present day, non-horrendous photos, and more mature things. Muffins.

Healthy Gingerbread Muffins {vegan, gluten-free, oil-free}

Why so much cookie talk in a muffin post? Because I posted these cut-out gingerbread cookies last year and that is still my go to vegan gluten-free gingerbread cookie recipe so I had to sneak this cookie talk into a non-cookie gingerbread post. Although it does makes me wonder, gingerbread muffin house…?

But these Healthy Gingerbread Muffins don’t need the edible embellishments or frosting fanfare, they are already humbly holiday perfect just as they are. A sprinkle of sparkly sugar or a dollop of coconut frosting doesn’t hurt of course, but simple, soft, warm from the oven still wins my most-delicoius-way-to-eat-a-muffin vote!

    Natalie!!!! OMG!!! This totally made my morning ?? These pics are amazing! You were quite the ambitious gingerbread house architect and adorable! Modern, classic…you crack me up! And I’m dying! You had your college class build cookie houses???!! If we ever made gingerbread houses as a kid, we definitely stuck to the classic layout, but tummy aches were always involved. I don’t recall seeing any pics from our gingerbread house building moments, but that’s probably a good thing ? Every year Willow sees those kits in the store and asks if we can build one…after seeing this post I feel like that absolutely needs to be a part of her childhood! I wish they made vegan, gluten-free kits or that I was ambitious enough to make it all from scratch.
    Ok, but moving on to these muffins ? Gimme!!!! And with that delicious coconut butter frosting…yum! I love this post, my friend!!
    P.S. – I’m with you…a gingerbread house made from sugar cookie just isn’t the same ?

      Making an all vegan/gf gingerbread cookie house with vegan candies and everything would be such a fun challenge! We sort of stopped doing it right around the time we went vegan so I haven’t attempted it, but I imagine it would be totally possible. Probably a little pricier on the vegan candies and stuff though! Ha well I had to get a more creative as the years went on just to keep things interesting 😀 Some ugly houses, but all good times! Thanks for reading along, I’m glad it could make you smile <3

    Never!!! No forgetting about gingerbread! Not when the season for the lil guy is just upon us. 😉 Cookie houses: love it! Woah, boats, trees and skyscrapers? That’s the fine thing about collapsed cookies–they still taste like cookies. Haha. OKAY, but you are the CUTEST!!!! I just knew this was gonna be good when I read “I would embarrass myself.” All good things happen when we share our most embarrassing pics, etc. And OMG… each ginger, ahem, cookie house is more epic than the last. How can this be??? It’s too much awesomeness for one post. Can we rewind and do this in installments? I have this weird thing where I need to slowly parcel out awesomeness. Haha. Snacks for later? YES. That veggie house is something else, isn’t it?? Now I demand, as your bestie, to see a cupcake house. Pleeeeease? Pretty please with a muffin on top? Cannot wait to see what edible structure you make this year. SERIOUSLY. Muah! xoxo

      Hahahaha so true about the correlation between embarrassment and entertainment 😀 I almost deleted them all and just talked about muffins for a couple extra paragraphs, but I figured this would be more fun! I started digging through old albums and there were too many to do them pic by pic, the muffins would’ve been jealous. Muffin on top is SO much greater than cherry on top! I mean that’s like snack on top of dessert–heck yeah!! I’m actually pretty intrigued to try a muffin house too now? Now if only I had a crazy amazing baker friend to join me because cookie house building is always more fun with friends❤️ xoxo

    I love gingerbread and gingerbread houses! My sister and I always made our own separate gingerbread houses growing up as well. There was no collaborating with use either lol. I actually tried my hand at a vegan gingerbread house from a recipe I got from ilovevegan.com. Other than some cracking in the roof-because I was impatient and wanted to assemble it-the recipe turned out great! I posted a picture of it on my instagram (runningvegan012). You will have to scroll down a ways to see it. I still have my cardboard cutouts; maybe I will make it again this year. 🙂

You are a pro–puts my messy structures to shame Kayla, wow! Where did you learn such perfect piping skills!? And I love the dainty little sprinkles too. You are making me want to make a vegan one this year, ahh they are so much fun? Haha glad it wasn’t just my sister and I that couldn’t share the job. Thank you so much for sharing that with me, you have to let me know if you do it again this year!

    Omg, I literally just made a Gingerbread Molasses cake yesterday and I swear it was the best cake I’ve ever had in my life and now I see these AMAZING gingerbread muffins and want the whole dang batch!!! I’m dying over all of those adorable houses you made too, I was laughing the whole way through and that veggie house, hahahaha! You are just too cute for words! LOL at the black countertop comment, haha! And I’m so glad you have not stopped all of this awesome ginger explosion of recipes because like I’ve told you before, I LOVE ginger and honestly could eat it everyday of my life…that and cinnamon. What an amazing recipe, I definitely need to try these in between all of my billion Christmas dessert chaos trials going on over here. In love with this recipe and of course you know I love my coconut butter! 🙂 The photos are so pretty and I’m drooling over all the closeups!

Ha the veggie house…the lack of frosting was the real challenge on that one. I should’ve used hummus or something lol. Trying to space out all the ginger recipes with some peppermint in between, but I could just do nothing but gingerbread all month haha!

    Ahhh, Love this post!! Brings back many awesome memories of my own gingerbread-house-making-days. The funniest memory I have is of my little brother – each time we all baked together, he would insist on making a treat for our dog, Zoe, as well… and the gingerbread house was no exception! He made a tiny little house (probably about 2 inches long) and put as much effort into icing it. I can’t remember if he added sweets to it as well (hopefully not, for Zoe’s sake!) but she certainly enjoyed eating it – all in one gulp of course 😉

    Love your website too – can’t wait to try the recipes!

    A quick question – is there any substitute for oats/oat flour in recipes? Unfortunately I don’t tolerate oats very well and there are so many awesome recipes I have found on various sites which include it.

      Hahahahaha I love the doggy gingerbread house story–made me laugh!!! So sweet of him to make it an all-family-inclusive activity 😀 That must’ve been adorable, I feel kinda bad for my dog now that I never thought to do that for her…never too late to start! As for the oat flour sub, quinoa flour will quite often work as will buckwheat. Cassava flour is a new one to me that I really love and is often even better than oat flour for GF baking, so in general I would recommend trying that stuff out. And almond flour is another that I like and will work in some of my recipes. It varies recipe to recipe though depending on the other ingredients involved so I can’t easily give you a single answer that is always guaranteed to work. But if ever you have a particular recipe in mind to try just leave me a comment or shoot me an email and I will give you my best suggestion!

    Thank you, thank you for sharing those awesome glimpses into your early days of creative baking/food decorating!! I’m so impressed! Honestly I loved the veggie hut! My mom and I made a few gingerbread houses over the years, sometimes with a kit and other times following some magnificent photo or instructions I found in a magazine. I always had big ambitious plans for them! Also these muffins look and sound delicious! I love anything gingerbread flavored and never get tired of it, no matter what time of year!

      Yes that was totally us too!! Find these super elaborate photos online or in a book, come up with crazy plans, and then end up with a pile of cookies that looks nothing like it haha. Like those pinterest fail side-by-side photos 😀 So much fun and totally worth it anyways though! I’m sticking to more simple gingerbread things this year like muffins I think 🙂 Thanks for checking it out Larice <3

      You absolutely should try both!! Although the veggie house is quite a bit trickier than the muffins, the problem is that there is no good veggie glue that hardens like frosting does. Thanks for reading Mary!

      I think we most definitely do share that spice-mixed-with-molasses flavor love, it’s so good in so many forms! It’s quite silly really that we wait all year to make ginger-y things, then I feel like I have to pack as many as possible into the month of December. But I am enjoying it thoroughly 😀

    That veggie house kills me. Way to be ambitious! I love the addition of all the old gingerbread house photos, and little Natalie was so darn cute!! I love that you guys made gingerbread houses every year- I’ve only made one once, and that was at a holiday party at school in first grade. However, I am getting together with some foodie friends and making one tomorrow night, which I am quite excited about.
    My family’s holiday tradition is always to make and frost sugar cookies together. I’ve had some of my closest friends over for the last five or so years to make and decorate sugar cookies too. It’s always a great time, especially when we try to see how ugly we can make the cookies.
    These muffins look great- I’m definitely trying them when I’m home over holiday break! Thanks Natalie!

      Ha I think it’s more like TOO ambitious 😀 I remember making a couple at school Christmas parties too, out of graham crackers if I remember correctly. And it was a total mess if I remember correctly–first graders and frosting is a messy combo. Ah you are making one this year!?! I need to see a photo, you have to post it on IG or something!! We had the sugar cookie decorating tradition at my house too (so many cookies lol), that’s what my mom sent to her entire humongous extended family every year for Christmas for years. It was always fun to help. Ha I love the ugliest cookie challenge, I want to try that now 😀 Have fun with your house making and happy holidays!!

        I swayed away from raw 80/10/10 a couple years ago. I did it for a few years and liked it but decided to re-introduce cooked back in my life and love it. I, like you, seem to feel best with whole plant foods whether cooked or raw. I like the freedom and the ease of it in social situations for sure. It’s also fun to incorporate more fats. I especially like making recipes like yours and sharing with non-vegans and wowing them with how good healthy food can be. Your recipes are simply brilliant.

    Looking to make these this year, but I’m trying to use what’s in my cabinet rather than spend loads on baking, and I’m out of tapioca starch. Would cornstarch be okay? Thanks so much – these look amazing!

    Oops, don’t think my question went through. Sorry if it shows up twice.

    I have cornstarch at the moment, but not tapioca starch. Would that work okay, do you think?

    Thanks so much! They look delicious.

    hello 🙂 I love you desserts ! my blood sugar levels haven’t been the best on them though, is there any chance you may know how many carbs and grams of sugar are in one muffin?

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
