Easy Brown Sugar Muffins
Did you read about the crazy weather Texas had last week?! Well, if not, let me tell you, Texas is NOT built for snow/ice! Not only was it incredibly cold here in Houston, but with the snow/ice, our power went out for about 36 hours and then we had no water for about 6 hours after that. Yikes!
Once the power came back and the house warmed up, we ventured out to our grocery store and found that all cold items had been tossed due to spoiling and bread items were gone due to trucks not making it to stores.
Since my kids LOVE toast for breakfast, I knew I needed to make a hearty breakfast option to keep in the house for a few days. Well, since we LOVE muffins in my house, muffins it was!
Not only are these muffins quite hearty, but they have just the right amount of sweetness and can be enjoyed warmed up or room temperature! Using only one mixing bowl, these are easy to prepare and can be frozen and enjoyed later! Each batch makes about 15-18 muffins, so plenty to share!
These Maple Brown Sugar Muffins make for a quick breakfast if you’re often busy and on the go. My kids enjoyed theirs with a bit of butter on top and fresh fruit on the side. Great way to start the day, right?! They also make for a great healthy afternoon snack! While it’s entirely optional, you’re welcome to use powdered sugar on top as an extra flourish.
The brown sugar flavor paired with cinnamon will be the best part of your day! The cinnamon, as well as the pure maple syrup, is a key ingredient to bring out an even more sweet flavor from the brown sugar. The maple flavor is more subtle but brings out the best of all of the ingredients around it! The only thing I have to warn you about… they are so good; don’t be surprised if you end up making a second batch!

- Place the pan into a preheated oven in the middle of the wire rack and bake for 17-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving!
Storing Leftover Muffins
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container or Ziploc bags—you can leave them at room temperature or put them in the fridge. It is best to eat the leftovers within four days. Store a piece of bread or a paper towel in your muffin storage to absorb extra moisture. This should keep your muffins as moist as they have been.
