Ingredients

Ginger Spice Muffins

  • 280 grams plain flour
  • 3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 150 grams light brown sugar
  • 120 Millilitres Vegetable oil
  • 240 Millilitres buttermilk or use 240 millilitres of whole milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 220º C and line a 12 hole muffin tin with cupcake liners. If you have two muffin tins, this is ideal as you can put a muffin liner in every other hole so the muffins bake evenly.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together with the nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon.
  • In a large jug or bowl mix together the buttermilk, vegetable oil and egg.
  • Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until only just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • Distribute the mix between the muffin wrappers. You can use an ice cream scoop for even muffins, or just use a spoon. Whatever works for you!
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 175º C and bake for a further 10-12 minutes. The muffins are ready when they're golden on top, and when you insert a toothpick into the muffin it will come out clean.
