Warm, spicy gingerbread muffins with a crumbly streusel topping, perfect for holiday mornings or gift baskets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Mix in the molasses and eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then, add the buttermilk and mix until smooth.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but smooth.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill the streusel for 10 minutes before sprinkling to maintain crumbly texture. Use parchment paper liners to prevent sticking.
