Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the maple syrup and brown sugar to the butter, mixing until smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
