making the muffins

Making these muffins just takes 10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of baking!

1. Start by mixing together the dry ingredients: almond flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
2. Next, mix together the wet ingredients: molasses, almond milk, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Incorporating the sugar with the wet ingredients aids the sugar in dissolving, which makes for better distribution.
3. Then combine the mixtures, spoon the batter into the muffin liners, bake and enjoy!

tips + tricks

• For the almond flour, you’ll want to go with a quality superfine blanched almond flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour. For best results, avoid almond meal (unblanched almond flour) and any brands that seem to have a coarser grind.
• As almond flours can vary in coarseness, we recommend using a kitchen scale as opposed to cups when measuring.
• Make sure you’re using unsulphured molasses for this recipe. Definitely stay away from anything labeled “blackstrap,” which will have a stronger, more bitter flavor.
• Let the muffins cool for 5-10 minutes in the tin to set a bit before digging in.

Notes

Almond flour: Use a quality superfine blanched almond flour for best results. Certain brands of almond flour have a coarser grind, which will affect the texture of your muffins.

Molasses: Make sure you’re using unsulphured molasses (something like Grandma’s Molasses) and stay away from anything labeled “blackstrap,” which has a stronger and more bitter flavor.

Storing: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
