  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the molasses, oil, eggs, and your Amish Friendship Bread starter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. Bake for 21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the gingerbread cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
