Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or paper liners.
- Mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, ¼ cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid mixture into it.
- Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a rubber spatula, stopping when just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Distribute the batter evenly across 12 muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full with a standard ice cream scoop.
- Slide the muffin pan into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 22-25 minutes until a wooden pick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the pan and let muffins rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle each with 2 teaspoons of warm maple syrup before serving.
Notes
- Swap out regular milk for almond or oat milk to make these muffins dairy-free and suitable for those with lactose sensitivities.
- Dust the tops with powdered sugar or add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for a more traditional French toast flavor profile.
- For a protein boost, mix in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the batter before baking.
- Ensure your batter is just combined to keep the muffins tender, as overmixing can lead to dense, tough results.
