Maple combines with a subtle touch of cinnamon and nuts to give these muffins the flavor of a hearty pancake breakfast. But you don't have to sit down to enjoy them. Our 2-year-old comes back for seconds, and even my husband, who's not a muffin eater, likes these. —Elizabeth Talbot, Lexington, Kentucky

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I tried using maple extract instead of vanilla extract - brought out the maple favor in the muffin nicely. Also doubled the amount of crumble for the top and used maple syrup in that also.

Nice texture. Tastes a bit more cakey than a real muffin and the maple flavour is hard to discern. Topping didn't appeal to us.

This recipe is Awesome, I didn't have cupcake liners so put it in 8x8 pan and baked 375 until it was done. It really does taste like pancakes. I will definitely make this again. Don't be afraid to try this recipe. The ingredients are basically staples in most kitchens.

Have made this many times. It is tacked on the side of my fridge for easy access. I add it to baskets we take to visitors at our church.
