’m sorry to hear your gingerbread isn’t turning out as expected! It can be really frustrating when a recipe that used to work suddenly doesn’t. Here are a few things you might want to check:

1. Ingredient Ratios: Make sure you’re measuring your ingredients accurately. Sometimes even a small change in the ratio of flour to liquid can cause collapsing.
2. Oven Temperature: Check if your oven is at the right temperature. An oven thermometer can help ensure it’s not running too hot or cold, which can affect baking times and results.
3. Mixing Method: Overmixing the batter can incorporate too much air, which may lead to collapse. Try mixing just until combined.
4. Cooling: Make sure you’re allowing the gingerbread to cool properly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. Sometimes if it’s moved too soon, it can collapse.

Hopefully, one of these tips helps you troubleshoot! Gingerbread is such a wonderful treat, and I hope you get back to making it just the way you like it!
