Maple Muffins
These maple muffins are made with pure maple syrup. One of my favourite nut free recipes, they make a great breakfast idea.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp shortening
- 1 Tbsp salted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening and butter until it resembles fine crumbs. Mix in the oats.
- In a small bowl, mix together the applesauce, egg, milk and maple syrup. Add into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin, and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
