Gingerbread cupcakes recipe with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and fancy molasses frosted with dulce de leche buttercream. Great for parties!

While Christmas is approaching quickly I prepared Gingerbread Cupcakes with Dulce de Leche. Honestly, I can’t believe how fast time went by. I was just in Poland, summer was here and now we are almost ending the year. New 2017 is approaching quickly. I am not sure if the time went so fast when I was younger or I just feel that way today.

Anyway, I started to make Christmas recipes and these gingerbread cupcakes are perfect for this holiday. They are quick to make, moist and delicious! They can be used for Christmas parties or any other parties during winter time. Or they can be made just without a reason, something to have for snack during weekdays!

I had leftover dulce de leche in my fridge and I thought that gingerbread cupcakes will combine well with it. Therefore, I went to my kitchen to make my cupcakes. The home was filled with nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and molasses. I was so happy how quickly they were made and I was more happy to find out that they are success. They rised so good and didn’t sink back, they are also moist. I also, used unsweetened applesauce in them and probably this is why the became moist. I also opted for the coconut sugar instead of regular sugar. They were very tasty!
