Soft gingerbread muffins are a delightful festive baking treat. They are warm, spiced, and perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the molasses and the egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- Ensure your molasses is fresh for the best flavor.
- Do not overbake to keep the muffins soft.
