Thanks for the tip about the runny consistency. I always get a bit worried at that point when making batter.

I’ve made gingerbread men, stars and even a gingerbread cheesecake. I’m definitely going to have to make these muffins.

Yum, I’ve made a gingerbread cake and muffins before and really love them. Haven’t made them in a while though. Thanks for the reminder.

Ginger and golden syrup sounds like a nice combination.

I’ve had a real thing for ginger beer of late so this will go down nicely I bet!

I think I could replace the eggs and this would still be delicious.

Glad you said it was runny, then I know I have done nothing wrong. It seems muffin mixes that do not seem right are right. Had one that was so thick but it came out so light in texture.
