 Maple Muffins with Maple Glaze- Soft maple muffins drenched with a smooth maple glaze. They are just so darn good. 

Ingredients Needed

• Flour + Baking powder + Ground cinnamon
• Brown sugar
• Egg
• Milk
• Maple syrup
• Powdered sugar
• Butter
• Sour cream
• Vanilla

• Pin it for Later

Recipe Notes

• Maple Syrup: I do know that real maple syrup can be costly. So, if desired, you can use maple flavored syrup for these muffins. However, I highly recommend the real thing.
• Sour Cream: None on hand? You can replace it with plain Greek yogurt
• This recipe makes about 9 muffins, instead of the standard 12. Don't over mix your batter.  Simply mix it until not dry spots are left in the batter. A few lumps are ok. Over mixing can give you a dense muffin.
• Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container. No need to refrigerate, unless the weather is hot/humid in your area.
