Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together oil and brown sugar.
  4. Whisk in molasses.
  5. Add egg, and whisk to combine.
  6. Add buttermilk; whisk until well-combined.
  7. Add flour mixture, and whisk until just combined.
  8. Scoop into muffin cups. The cups will be full.
  9. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar, if using.
  10. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Notes

  • Flour: Be sure to either weigh the flour or aerate, spoon, and level it. You can find the weights for the ingredients by clicking on "metric" immediately above the ingredients. 
  • Oil: I've used melted coconut oil, mild olive oil, and vegetable oil in this recipe. 
  • Brown sugar: You can use light brown sugar if you don't have dark brown sugar.
  • Molasses: Mild or robust molasses is ok. I don't recommend blackstrap.
  • Buttermilk: Regular or low-fat ok. You can also make a homemade buttermilk substitute.
  • Nutritional values are estimates.
