Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.33 cups dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and molasses until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the mini muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
