Warm, spiced, and irresistibly cozy — these Gingerbread Muffins are the perfect way to welcome the chill of autumn or brighten up a winter morning. Moist and fluffy with rich molasses and a gentle kick of ginger, they’re just what your kitchen needs to smell like the holidays. Bake a batch, and let the magic begin.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp salt
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup molasses
⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 large egg
¾ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.
In another bowl, mix brown sugar, molasses, oil, egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry, stirring just until incorporated. Don’t overmix.
Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool slightly and enjoy warm — maybe with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
