During a late 1980s trip to a charming Oregon coast bakery, I discovered the unforgettable Sailor Jack muffin—a spiced, cocoa-kissed treat with a soft crumb and sweet vanilla icing. These muffins, reminiscent of gingerbread and spice cake, became an instant favorite. Now, I’m sharing the recipe so you can recreate this cozy, old-fashioned delight at home.
