Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the maple syrup to the butter mixture and beat until well incorporated.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Reduce the speed to low and alternate adding the dry ingredients in three additions with the sour cream in two additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts gently using a spatula.

Step 8

Evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
