Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon Additional ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and maple syrup.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To prepare the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.

Step 10

Mix in the heavy cream and additional maple syrup to taste, if desired.

Step 11

Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, frost them generously with the cream cheese frosting.

Step 12

Dust the tops of the frosted cupcakes with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish, and optionally drizzle with more maple syrup.
