Equipment

  • 2 Large mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 12 Cup Muffin tin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 Cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 Cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 Cup Turbinado sugar or brown sugar plus extra for sprinkling on top
  • 2 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Instant coffee
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/4 Cup Molasses
  • 1 Cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick baking spray or line with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, spices, instant coffee, salt, and turbinado sugar. Whisk together to combine.
  • Add the vanilla, coconut oil, egg, molasses, and almond milk to the bowl and mix them with a spatula
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk everything until combine. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Using a measuring cup, fill the muffin tin equally, about 2/3 of the way full each. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven for 14-16 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out clean they are done
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then remove and place on a wire rack or large plate to finish cooling.

Notes

  • The recipe makes 12 regular sized muffins.
  • The muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months: Place in two zip-top bags and seal shut. Then defrost them on the counter when you’re ready to eat them.
  • Keep the muffins in a plastic container or plastic bag on the counter for 3-4 days, or in the fridge for up to 5.
