Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Molasses
- 2 Eggs
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the molasses and mix well. Then, whisk in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them warm.
