Make your mornings special with these delightful Cinnamon Maple Morning Muffins. The combination of maple syrup and cinnamon creates a warm, inviting flavor everyone will love. Perfect for busy weekdays or leisurely weekends, these muffins pair perfectly with any breakfast or brunch spread.
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, maple syrup, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Line your muffin cups with paper liners. Fill each cup about two-thirds full with batter.
For the topping, mix the flour, sugar, chopped nuts, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the muffin batter.
Bake for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.
