Ingredients
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the pan if needed
⅔ cup/160 milliliters maple syrup
¼ cup/60 milliliters unsulfured molasses
1 cup/240 milliliters stout
1 large egg
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder

(continued in the next column ↗️)

1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ cup crystallized ginger, sliced into thin strips
Directions
Heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with butter.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium.
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, swirling frequently, until the foam subsides and the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty.
Pour the brown butter into a medium bowl.
Whisk in the maple syrup, molasses and stout.
Follow with the egg.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice and ground ginger.
Pour in the butter mixture and stir until combined and smooth.
Fold in the sliced ginger.
Divide batter among prepared muffin tins and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let cool completely.
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or until they get all fuzzy with mold.
