Spiced Muffins

I love the fall season. It is just so cozy and calm. It is a good time to start pulling out your tasty fall and winter recipes. This is one of those recipes that I pull out at the start of the season to have on hand. They are perfect with your morning coffee or tea, and great for snacks and desserts. They are slightly dense, slightly sweet, and tasty.

These make 14 to 16 muffins depending on the size of the muffin tin you are using.

Let’s get started:

INGREDIENTS:

3 C. Flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
2 Tsp. Ground ginger
1/4 Tsp. Ground Cloves
1 1/4 C. Milk
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
2 Eggs – beaten
1/2 cup ( 1 stick) Butter – unsalted and melted ( cooled slightly)
3/4 C. sugar
3/4 C. Brown Sugar

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk together the butter, milk, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  4. Line a muffin tin or spray a silicone muffin tray with oil. Fill 3/4 of the way up the cavity of the tin with the batter.
  5. Bake at 375* for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. You can check with a toothpick. Just poke the muffin with the toothpick and if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs you can remove them from the oven.
  6. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Store in an airtight container on the counter for 2 to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

  • Add-ins: Pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips.
