Warm spices and rich stout make these Spicey Muffins a cozy treat! Sweetened with maple syrup and molasses, and optionally studded with crystallized ginger, they're perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Great for fall baking or anytime you want a spiced, comforting bake.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the pan if needed

⅔ cup/160 milliliters maple syrup

¼ cup/60 milliliters unsulfured molasses

1 cup/240 milliliters stout

1 large egg

2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour

1½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground cardamom

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

½ cup crystallized ginger, sliced into thin strips

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with butter.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium.

Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, swirling frequently, until the foam subsides and the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty.

Pour the brown butter into a medium bowl.

Whisk in the maple syrup, molasses and stout.

Follow with the egg.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice and ground ginger.

Pour in the butter mixture and stir until combined and smooth.

Fold in the sliced ginger.

Divide batter among prepared muffin tins and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Let cool completely.

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or until they get all fuzzy with mold.

💡️ Help, Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
