I'm going to assume you mean incorrect minutes, not hours. The reason you are seeing that is that you are using MM which is the token for months. You want mm.

Oh, you have quite a few things going on here.

First, you're using 24 hour clock instead of 12 with the HH token. You probably want hh:mm a for your tokens.

Second, you have a UTC date, and it is converting to local. To keep it utc, use moment.utc() instead of moment(). See this blog post: https://maggiepint.com/2016/05/14/moment-js-shows-the-wrong-date/
