Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (for swirl)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for swirl)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. For the swirl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup melted butter in a small bowl until crumbly.
  7. Spoon batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the tops of the batter in the cups.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the maple glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach a drizzly consistency.
  10. Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the cooled cupcakes.

Notes

  • Anya suggests using high-quality maple syrup for the best flavor in the glaze.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added; this keeps the cupcakes tender.
  • If you prefer a thicker swirl, you can gently fold half the cinnamon mixture into the batter before filling the cups.
