what missing is the brown sugar. I was looking for healthy recipes and found a very good gingerbread cupcake recipe from McCormick, here is the link: http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Desserts/Gingerbread-Cupcakes-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting.aspx
1/3/2011 04:37:05 PM Report AbuseI did not like these cupcakes - I noticed there is no sugar in the recipe so that could be why?? They have such a harsh ginger/molasses taste - too overbearing. Would not make again.
12/13/2010 02:44:31 PM Report AbuseVery bad recipe in my opinion. I just finished making these exactly as the recipe states, and they are so bad. They tasted like moist cardboard. It smelled good, but tasted terrible. I literally took 2 bites and threw the rest of them away. Really sad too because the picture looked good. Save yourself the time and disappointment and find another recipe, maybe one with butter, or sugar, or something!
