Equipment

  • 1 Muffin Tin
  • Cupcake Liners Optional

Ingredients

Gingerbread Muffins

  • 2-¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 2 Large Eggs lightly beaten
  • ¾ cup Milk
  • ½ cup Butter melted and cooled
  • cup Molasses
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

Vanilla Glaze

  • 2 tablespoon Butter softened
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • pinch Salt
  • 2 cups Confectioners / Icing / Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon Water

Instructions

Muffins:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners, or spray with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, spices, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, melted butter, molasses and vanilla extract. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture.
  • Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy.)
  • Divide batter between 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each to almost full.
  • Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
  • Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes, while you make the glaze:

Glaze

  • Whisk together the butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  • Add about half the powdered sugar, a little at a time.
  • Once half of the powdered sugar is incorporated, add 2 tablespoon of water, whisking until smooth.
  • Add remaining powdered sugar, whisking until smooth. You want it VERY thick, but you can add extra water if you need.
  • Remove muffins from muffin cups; drizzle with glaze, and serve warm!
