Remove from oven and spoon a kitchen teaspoon of maple syrup over each muffin. (I like to spoon another bit of maple syrup over the muffins just before serving, as well).

MORNING MAPLE MUFFINS

Our 2-year-old comes back for seconds, and even my husband-who doesn't normally like muffins-likes these. -Elizabeth Talbot, Lexington, Kentucky
