Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups Pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using chopped pecans, fold them gently into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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