Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 whole large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your New England Maple Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
