Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour King Arthur Flour recommended
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup molasses unsulphured
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk eggs until frothy, then stir in melted butter, molasses, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the batter is just combined with small lumps remaining.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For a simple glaze, whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk until smooth, then drizzle over cooled muffins.

Notes

These muffins freeze beautifully—store individually wrapped in the freezer for up to a month. Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for extra fun.
