How to Make Gingersnap Mini Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) molasses, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon orange zest until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
