Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them with butter.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and ground cloves until well combined. Set aside.

In a separate large bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Stir in the buttermilk, molasses, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well blended.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are okay.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
