If you like maple syrup, you need to try these Maple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins. Not being much of a morning person, I baked a batch of these late at night to have ready for breakfast in the morning. The muffins smelled so good baking that I could hardly stand waiting until morning to try one. The fragrant smell of warm maple syrup and cinnamon haunted me all night long. And the verdict in the morning: they tasted as good as they did in my dreams.

Maple syrup can be substituted for white sugar in baking, but it is important to remember that because it is a liquid, it is not a 1:1 substitution. It is recommended that you substitute 3/4 cup of syrup for each cup of sugar and reduce the liquids in the recipe by 3 tablespoons for each cup of sugar substituted. I have gotten good results using this formula.
