Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Stand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (2.5 ounces)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsulphered molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • cup Bob's Red Mill's 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ cup whole milk (2 ounces)
  • turbinado sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  • Beat the vegetable oil, melted butter, brown sugar, and molasses until emulsified and lightened in color and consistency, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until a thick batter forms. Scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.
  • Add the milk to the batter and mix until incorporated.
  • Divide the batter between 12 holes in the muffin tin. Sprinkle each muffin with some turbinado sugar.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 22 to 24 minutes. Let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
