Gingerbread muffins are soft and fluffy, bakery style molasses muffins. These winter muffins are filled with lots of cozy warming spices and are topped with crunchy sugar.
In a mixing bowl whisk the all purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg and salt together until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and light brown sugar together until well combined. Whisk in the warm molasses, followed by the egg and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
Use a 3 tablespoon sized cookie scoop to scoop the muffin batter into each of the muffin liners. For the tall bakery style tops, alternate muffin cups. Top with coarse sugar if you like.
