SPICED BANANA GINGERBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
• 2. Combine banana, eggs, vanilla, oil, molasses, milk, and brown sugar in a bowl. Make sure you measure the oil before the molasses, it will make it much easier to get the molasses out of the cup. I use a stick blender to combine them as it makes sure you don't have any big pieces of banana left but you can premash the banana and then just use a spoon if you prefer.
• 3. In a medium bowl combine flours, spices, salt, baking powder, and baking soda (I like to use a fork or a whisk).
• 4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overbeat.
• 5. Fill each muffin cup halfway, Bake for 10 minutes at 400F Lower oven temp to 375F for 7-9 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean or the internal temp reaches between 190 - 200F on a digital read thermometer. Let cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Put the oven back up to 400F as soon as you take the first batch out. If you end up with a batch that doesn't completely fill your muffin tin toward the end, fill any empty cups halfway with water so that the tray heats evenly.
• The muffins keep in a ziplock on the counter for up to one week.
