Instructions
Brew coffee and let cool to room temperature.
Place a rack in the centre of your oven and preheat oven to 375ºF.
Line muffin pan with liners.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a second bowl, add the oil, egg, brown sugar, molasses and coffee. Whisk until everything is well blended.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until incorporated.
Spoon the batter into the paper-lined muffin cups.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffin comes out clean, about 16 to 18 minutes.
If desired, immediately sprinkle turbinado sugar on top of each muffin. Let cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Whole wheat pastry flour can be substituted with all-purpose flour.
To ensure fluffy and tender muffins avoid overmixing the muffin batter.
After removing the muffins from the oven, let them cool a couple minutes in the baking pan before transferring them to a cooling rack.
To freeze muffins, place them in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze up to three months.
