Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your muffin tin.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and light brown sugar in a mixing bowl for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the unsulfured molasses, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt) in a separate bowl and gradually add to the wet mixture.
