Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or 3/4 cup milk + 2 teaspoons vinegar, rested 5 minutes)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, molasses, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until no flour streaks remain.
  5. Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake the muffins for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when pressed.
  7. Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Make the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup, adding milk as needed for consistency.
  9. Glaze the muffins by spooning the glaze over the tops.
  10. Serve warm or allow the glaze to set before storing.

Notes
