Tiny, tender muffins packed with familiar breakfast flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, and maple, perfect for chilly mornings or seasonal brunches.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- Combine the egg, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and maple syrup in another bowl until smooth.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Notes
To keep muffins from sticking, grease the tin well or use liners. If using pancake mix, add less liquid for thicker batter.
