Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.33 cups dark brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and molasses until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the mini muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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