These moist cornbread muffins are sweetened with real maple syrup and pair wonderfully with chili or stews. A hint of vanilla and butter adds richness. They're also great on their own with a slather of maple butter.
Ingredients (for 12 servings):
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup milk
? cup maple syrup
¼ cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line or grease a muffin tin.
In one bowl, mix dry ingredients. In another, whisk wet ingredients.
Combine both just until mixed—don’t overmix.
Fill muffin cups ¾ full and bake 15–18 min. or until golden.
