BUTTER TART MUFFINS WITH MAPLE SYRUP
These Muffins are so yummy. They actually taste like Butter tarts. I got the recipe from the LCBO magazine, I love that magazine! This recipe was from a coffee shop in Huntsville Ontario. I made 10 muffins using the 12 muffin tin pan, but they say to make 6 large. Mine turned out great.
