Instructions

  1. Creaming the Base: In a mixing bowl, begin by creaming together the margarine, white sugar, and salt until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base that will provide moisture and flavor to your muffins.

  2. Combining Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gently stir in the rolled oats. This step will ensure that the leavening agent is evenly distributed, providing a uniform rise to your muffins.

  3. Mixing Wet Ingredients: In a separate container, whisk together the milk and maple syrup until well combined. This mixture not only contributes to the muffins’ moisture but also enhances their delightful maple flavor.

  4. Bringing it All Together: Gradually pour the wet maple mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this could lead to dense muffins. The batter should be slightly lumpy, which is perfectly fine.

  5. Baking the Muffins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Preparing the Glaze: While the muffins are baking, you can prepare a delicious glaze. In a small bowl, mix the icing sugar with melted butter and additional maple syrup until smooth and glossy.

  7. Glazing the Muffins: Once the muffins have baked, allow them to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. While they are still slightly warm, generously drizzle the maple glaze over each muffin. This step adds an irresistible shine and extra layer of flavor.

  8. Enjoying the Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, allowing the sweet maple aroma to waft through your kitchen, inviting family and friends to gather around and indulge in these delightful treats.

These Maple Syrup Muffins are not only a deliciously sweet way to start your day or enjoy as a snack, but they also come together quickly, making them ideal for busy mornings or spontaneous gatherings. Enjoy every bite!
