Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Whisk together until well combined.
To another mixing bowl add eggs and beat until frothy. Gradually mix in brown sugar until fully incorporated. Slowly pour in the star ingredient, molasses, while stirring continuously. Once combined, add hot water and vegetable oil. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually mix in the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring only until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in tough muffins.
Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each one about two-thirds full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the gingerbread muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy this delightful holiday treat from Jason’s Deli!
