Maple is the signature of Vermont and our family loves the traditions of sugaring, sugar on snow, and cooking everything from meats to vegetables, to fruits, and baked goods with maple. These muffins are just an easy way to enjoy maple sugar and syrup. Serve them with maple cream or maple butter for a real indulgence!
