I don't remember why I decided to make these muffins, but I do love gingerbread and I am sure that is what sparked my creation. We used to use Fresh gingerbread like the shortcake in Strawberry shortcake, but we would split it, put banana slices on it, top that with whipped cream, then the other half of the gingerbread with more whipped cream and sprinkle on finely chopped Crystalized ginger. YUMMO!!
