Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Molasses
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cups Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the molasses, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, whisking until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Make sure not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the comforting flavors of these gingerbread muffins!
