Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 ¼ teaspoons ginger
- ½ teaspoon cloves
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup blackstrap molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- Mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves together in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl, beat oil, molasses, and brown sugar together until smooth. Then add eggs and sour cream and beat again.
- Stir in half the dry ingredients until just mixed, then add half the milk. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and milk, stirring just until combined.
- Divide batter between 12 paper-lined, or greased muffin cups.
