Maple Nut Muffins
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup maple sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup whole milk
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted and slightly cooled
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup pecans, butternuts, or walnuts, chopped
1. Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups.
2. Mix flour, maple sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg, milk, butter, and maple syrup in another medium bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until almost combined. Gently fold in the nuts.
3. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Bake muffins in the oven until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes.
4. Transfer to cooling rack. Serve warm with maple butter or maple cream.
