Gingerbread Coffee Cake Muffins

Servings 1 dozen

Ingredients

For the muffins:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup molasses

For the streusel:

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Place liners in muffin pan (makes about 12 regular-sized muffins).

  2. First up is the streusel topping. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together sugars, ginger and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and use a whisk to combine. Add flour and stir until fully incorporated. Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, milk and egg. Gradually add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Add molasses and melted butter, mix until fully incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix.

  5. Spoon into prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle with the streusel topping, then bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the middle is set. Remove and cool for 3-5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or let cool. Enjoy!
