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

Very moist. Tasted more like brown sugar rather than maple syrup. No one knew they were maple until I told them. They are very good though! I love the idea of serving them with maple syrup.

These were fabulous! Oh my goodness they tasted just like a pancake! I couldn't get my topping to form crumbs so I added a little maple syrup to them and that did the trick!

What a delicious muffin!! These were fast and easy to make and my whole family loved them (that doesn't happen very often). This will definately become a regular at our sunday morning breakfast table!

A couple years ago, I was on a quest to find the perfect muffin recipe, and Morning Maples made my top ten most delicious, most requested list. Even better the day after they're baked.

My family and I thought these were so good! I like the golden color, and the maple flavor was just right. I didn't have quite enough pure maple syrup, so I used a small amount of pancake syrup and maple extract to make up the difference. I had made this recipe several years ago, when it first appeared in TOH; as happens too often, the recipe was lost among my stack of magazines. I'm sorry I didn't make them again sooner! I like the fact that this makes 16 muffins---some for home, and some to take to work. Thanks!

good, not great. These muffins are the classic brown sugar tasting muffins. They are not nearly as good as the graham struesel coffee cake.

These were very good, the next time I make them however I may try to lighten them up some, or at least make healtheir by using whole wheat flour and maybe egg whites or egg beaters in place of the egg. 212 calories per muffin isn't a lot, but just want to boost the health benefits!

I have made these several times and they really do taste like a pnacake breakfast. Perfect for traveling or at the beach when sitting down to a stack of pancakes is not possible.

Made these this morning and brought them to work.  The responses were "excellent" "wonderful" and "more - more - more".  Thanks for the recipe.  It made me look good.  I would recommend this highly.
