Maple Muffins with Maple Glaze are tender, golden muffins sweetened with pure maple syrup and topped with a smooth, glossy maple glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted or softened
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tbsp pure maple syrup (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tsp milk or cream, as needed (for glaze)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the glaze: whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and enough milk or cream to reach a pourable consistency.
  9. Drizzle glaze over cooled muffins. Allow glaze to set before serving.

Notes

Use real maple syrup for best flavor—Grade A dark or amber works well.Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and tender.To make ahead, freeze unglazed muffins and add glaze after thawing.Try folding in chopped pecans or dried cranberries for variation.Double the recipe for larger batches; use two muffin tins or bake in batches.
