Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, at room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup sour cream

For the Topping:

  • 2 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl with electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, beating until combined. Scrape down the edges of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the baking powder, salt, and baking soda, and mix well to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and sour cream until smooth.
  • Add one cup of flour, mixing until combined, followed by the sour cream/milk mixture.
  • Lastly, add the remaining cup of flour, mixing until just combined.
  • Divide the batter between 10 muffin cups, filling each cup ¾ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges and no longer sticky on the top. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Remove muffins from pan and place on cooling rack.
  • Brush each muffin with butter and then dip in cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container on the counter for 3-4 days. I like to heat mine up in the microwave for 15 seconds.
