Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 24-count mini-muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with mini paper liners.
In a medium bowl, sift together the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 small egg, and 3 tablespoons molasses until the mixture is dark and smooth. Once combined, slowly stir in the h3 tablespoons water.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Over-mixing will make the muffins tough, so stop as soon as the flour streaks disappear. Fill each mini-muffin cup about 3/4 full and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
