Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin.
Mix all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Cream together butter and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, followed by molasses and sour cream, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix gently.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over muffins and let set before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins fluffy. Customize with nuts or ginger for added flavor.
