I love gingerbread so tried this because its fast, easy, uses yogurt which is unusual, and has only molasses as sweetener, also unusual. I subbed canola oil for the shortening and cinnamon for the allspice, used half each of white and white whole wheat flours. I also added the 3 tbsp. cocoa powder, but didn't taste it at all (however, I used blackstrap molasses which can overpower other flavors) It is NOT a sweet loaf but is nice that way - would be good with sweetened whip cream, ice cream, or fruit. I just had my first slice with Greek yogurt and cherry preserves and it was great that way. I would make again since it was so fast, and I appreciate that its not too sweet.

After being surrounded by ginger bread cookies for days in the lead up to Christmas, I have been craving ginger bread and decided to try this recipe. Wonderfully simple method for someone like me who loves to bake but not all that competent. I used golden syrup instead of molasses, butter for shortening and half tea spoon of mixed spice.
The mixture made 8 muffins using half cup quantities of mixture and took 20 mins in fanforce oven at 190°C. Delicious warm with butter and craving satiated! Thank you for the recipe.

Instead of allspice and cloves I used 1 heaping tsp of cinnamon. After baking, I made a lemon topping with confectioners sugar and lemon juice. The result is a loaf that's not too sweet but so full of molasses and ginger flavor. The lemon glaze adds just a hint of tangy sweetness. I will be making this recipe often.
