Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If using chopped pecans, fold them gently into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
