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 your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, and lightly grease if you prefer softer edges.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, molasses, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold using a spatula until no visible flour remains.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes until springy and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup, then gradually add milk until thick but pourable.
  9. Glaze the muffins while warm, allowing the glaze to settle over the tops.
  10. Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

These muffins also freeze well for up to 3 months. Let cool completely before wrapping.
