Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Muffin tin
- Paper muffin cups
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup dark molasses
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper cups.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, molasses, hot water, and brown sugar until well blended.
- Beat in the egg to the molasses mixture.
- Combine Gently blend the wet and dry mixes together until they are just combined. It's important not to overmix to keep the muffins light and airy.
- Fill Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each to about three-quarters full. This ensures they have enough room to rise without spilling over.
- Bake Bake the muffins for approximately 20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they are ready to be taken out of the oven.
Notes
- For optimal results, let all ingredients come to room temperature before starting. This helps in mixing and can affect the final texture of the muffins.
- Do not over-mix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy.
- For a more intense flavor, you can increase the amount of spices slightly.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container to keep them moist and fresh.
