Double Maple Muffins Recipes

MORNING MAPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine milk, butter, syrup, sour cream, egg and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened., Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. For topping, combine flour, sugar, nuts and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. , Bake 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in freezer containers. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high for 20-30 seconds or until heated through.

MAPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and melted butter. Whisk in the milk, followed by the egg and egg yolk. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until just smooth. Stir in the walnuts, if using. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grease the muffin pan generously with softened butter (see my note about the muffin pan below).
• Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan. The cups will be almost full. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake for about 15 minutes more, or until the muffins are golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove muffins from the pan. Serve warm with butter, or place on a rack to cool.
• Note: My only quibble with this recipe is that the muffins tend to stick to the pan. I found that letting them cool for only 5 minutes (instead of the recommended 10) helped them release more easily. If they stick, take a butter knife or offset spatula and run it around the edges; and instead of pulling the muffins out of the pan, turn the pan over and knock it gently on the counter until the muffins drop out. Or, use paper liners and call it a day (but still butter the top of the pan!). I also found that the recipe is perfect for 12 muffin cups without the nuts; when you add the nuts, the muffins run into each other a bit, making them difficult to remove. So, if you're adding the nuts, you might want to bake the muffins in two pans, filling 6 cups in one pan and 7 in the other, for a total of 13 muffins.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line 10 muffin cups with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together avocado, oil, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Whisk in egg, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and milk.
• Whisk in cocoa powder, then stir in flour until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Divide among cups and bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips and sanding sugar; return to oven and bake until a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let cool and serve, or store, covered, at room temperature up to 3 days.

DOUBLE APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400F and grease or line 12 muffin cups.

• Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the chopped apple, mixing just until moistened (do not overmix!).
• Gently fold in the apples.
• Fill cups 2/3 full.
• Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.

MAPLE WALNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line muffin pan with paper baking cups.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the maple syrup and the eggs and beat until well blended. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk and beat until well blended. Stir in the walnuts. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins filling each about 3/4 full.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

MAPLE BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper baking cups. Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add dry ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated; stir in cereal and wheat bran. Divide batter evenly between muffin cups.
• Bake until a tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely. Serve warm or room temperature, with butter. You can freeze baked muffins in resealable plastic bags for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temp, or pop them in a 375°F oven for about 5 minutes.
