Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Molasses
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Buttermilk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Beat in the egg until fully combined. Then, mix in the molasses and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
