Equipment

1 Muffin tin

Ingredients

Muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch salt
1/2 cup molasses
1/3 cup applesauce
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Icing

1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line your muffin tin with liners or grease the pan.
Whisk together all of the dry ingredients - flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt - until well combined and no clumps.
Add the molasses, applesauce, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until they are just combined and you see no more dry ingredients.
Add about 1/4 cup of batter to each muffin liner in the tin (about 2/3 the way up the liner).
Bake the muffins for 16-18 minutes. Bring the muffins out of the oven to cool for five minutes, then remove them to a wire rack.
Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Mix until combined, then drizzle over the cooled muffins. Let set before eating.
