Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Paper liners
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Electric Mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly from the moment they go in.
  2. Step 2: Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Step 5: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Step 6: Stir in the molasses, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Step 7: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  8. Step 8: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Step 9: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Step 10: Once baked, allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
