Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  8. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
