Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the molasses, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently 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.
-
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these New Orleans Black Muffins warm with a dollop of whipped cream or butter, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and spices.

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Simply reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving to enjoy them warm and fresh.
