Maple Muffins recipe to mollify me......

Children, This recipe is for Joel.

The kiddos were a tad upset that I forgot to add this recipe in the box,  so here goes.


My kids favorite maple muffin recipe is as follows:

Grey's heavenly Maple syrup Muffins.
Ingredients:

1/4 cup of margarine (or butter)

1/2 cup of sugar

1 teaspoon of salt

1 1/4 cups flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

3/4 cups of rolled oats

1/2 cup of milk

1/2 cup of maple syrup.(yes I have even used the pancake syrup and folks still manage to eat them.)

Glaze (optional)
1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup of icing sugar

1 tablespoon of maple syrup

Directions:

Soften the Margarine and blend in the sugar and salt.

Add dry ingredients and blend in with a pastry cutter or cut them in with a knife/fork, until crumbly.

Mix in the oats.

blend milk and maple syrup together and pour over your other mixed ingredients, stirring only to moisten.

Put in muffin tins or muffin papers in muffin tins about 3/4 full.

Pop into a preheated oven (350 F) for about 20 minutes.

Now these muffins are tasty enough but sometimes when I'm in a really good mood or need a really good sugar fix I add/spread the Glaze on top when the baked muffins are already slightly cooled. Both ways are delicious. 

Enjoy!
