Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 whole large eggs
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy topping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your New England Maple Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
