Recipe Notes

  • I used sorghum molasses in this recipe. 
  • Instead of milk, I used buttermilk, which adds a little twang to the muffins.
  • Store the gingerbread muffins in an airtight container on the counter.

Here’s how to make it: 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together molasses, milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  3. Divide batter into 12 muffin cups that are lined with baking liners or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with optional coarse sugar.
  4. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for 8 minutes. Leave muffins in oven and reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Dust with powered sugar, if desired. Store in an airtight container.

Gingerbread makes the whole house feel and smell so sweet and cozy. Yummy recipe.
Melissa Vickers
doesn't it? I can't say gingerbread is my "go to" flavoring for such things (once a chocoholic, always a chocoholic!) but I love the smell and taste of a good gingerbread in whatever form!
Elisa Schmitz
Agreed, but for me, I think it's the smell even more than the taste. It's old-fashioned comfort at its finest, any time of year. Thanks for the recipe!
