Gingerbread Muffins Recipe

Heat oven to 350*F (175*C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.

In another bowl, beat egg, applesauce, oil, molasses and sugar, mixing well. Pour mixture into well. Mix batter until just moistened; add water and mix until just blended.
Fill prepared muffin tins two-thirds full. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan on wire rack.
