Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these fragrant Maple Spice Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
