🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

3. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth and fully incorporated.

4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold the mixture together until just combined—do not overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.

6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade maple syrup muffins!
