    Morning Maple Muffins

    May 2, 2015 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Apr 1, 2022

    This easy Maple Muffins taste just like a warm stack of buttered pancakes with maple syrup! They mix up quickly and are the perfect good morning muffin.

    Good Morning Maple Muffins

    I know it's getting warmer every day and for many, baking activities slow a bit, but I still think there's room for a bit of baking, especially when you can do it early in the day. And you should. These muffins are perfect morning muffins and they mix up so quickly, you won't even break a sweat.

    Cook's Notes

    These muffins are classic two-bowl, mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon muffins. So you don't even need to bust out the mixer for these ones. They also bake up quickly in a nice hot oven. When they emerge and you enjoy them fresh and warm from the oven, you'll swear you're eating warm, buttered pancakes with maple syrup.

    The light streusel topping provides a lovely crunchy top to these muffins, best enjoyed fresh from the oven (I found the crunch disappeared with time and even with freezing). I sprinkled mine with a few maple flakes, just because I had some around. A bit of maple sugar would also be nice if you have some.

      Do you use Unsalted or salted butter

        You can use either, Kayla. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt to 1/4 tsp. Enjoy :)

        My kids and husband gobbled these up. They are delicious and light. Honestly i thought no way can they taste like a pancake but it's exactly what they taste like. I didn't add the topping just because I try to avoid adding extra sugar if not needed, they were amazing anyway.

      Jennifer your photos just melt me! I feel all weak and limp just looking at these muffins... I love maple and I can just imagine how good these must be. Do you ever bake with maple sugar? When I was last in Vermont I picked some up but haven't used it much.

        Thanks Sue and I don't often bake with maple sugar. I tend to sprinkle it on stuff for a little extra flavour :)
