Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the maple glaze by whisking together the maple syrup and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, drizzle the maple glaze generously over the cupcakes. For extra flair, you can sprinkle them lightly with powdered sugar or garnish with fruit.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
