Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup molasses
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and molasses until smooth.

Step 4

Add the egg to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Stir in the milk until combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with granulated sugar for added sweetness and a slight crunch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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