Instructions
- FOR THE MUFFINS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and butter a 12-hole muffin tin. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip brown sugar with butter, 1 Tbsp vegetable oil and the orange zest on medium-high speed until mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
- Blend in remaining 3 Tbsp vegetable oil and the applesauce. Add in eggs one at a time and mix just until combined after each addition while adding in 1 tsp vanilla with second egg. Stir in molasses.
- Fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture in 3 additions alternating with 1/2 of the milk in 2 additions between. Fold just until combined after additions (batter will be slightly lumpy).
- Divide batter among 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each well nearly full. Bake in preheated oven 8 minutes then reduce oven temperture to 375 and continue to bake 8 - 11 minutes longer until toothpick inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Remove from oven and run a knife around muffins to remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- When muffins are slightly warm, dip into glaze or spread over tops, then return to cooling rack and allow glaze to set at room temperature. Store in an airtight container.
- FOR THE GLAZE: In a mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla and enough orange juice to make a smooth glaze.
