- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsulphured molasses

- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F and line a muffin pan with liners or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, molasses, oil, egg, vanilla, milk, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir together until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 16–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- You can freeze the muffins for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds before serving.
- Mini chocolate chips distribute better in the batter, but regular ones can be used as well.
- Feel free to substitute the almond milk with any milk of choice.
