In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients- flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice spice, and salt. Use a whisk, not a spatula!
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add oil and brown sugar. Beat until combined. Add egg, vanilla extract, and pudding mix. Beat to combine. Scrape the bottom of the mixer with a spatula to ensure nothing is stuck to the bottom of the bowl.
Add 3 Tablespoons of black molasses and, with the mixer on medium speed, beat for 1 full minute.
Lastly, add in the dry ingredient mix and beat until just combined.
