Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 cup chopped pecans

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 bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, whisking until smooth after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and milk until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix!

Step 7

Fold in the chopped pecans, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins if desired.

Step 8

Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full with the batter.

Step 9

Sprinkle the reserved pecans (if any) on top of the batter for garnish.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

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