WOW! What fantastic muffins these are. I made them this evening and they were the best muffins I've made in a long time. I did use oil as a substitute for butter. As I did not have cinnamon on hand, I had to leave that out. Next time, I'll be adding it in as well. These took exactly 25 minutes to bake at 180C in my oven. THANK YOU so much for posting this recipe, Auntie Carol! My little friend for whom I especially made these today(she's just 7), will be taking these to school for the coming week. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. It's a sure keeper and your right about the combo of toasted walnuts and maple syrup- divine!

I made these as mini muffins so there were 48 instead of 12 regular muffins. I cooked them 13 minutes instead of 20 - 25 and they were done perfectly in that time. Everyone who tried them said they were delicious and they were gone in a very short time. I did add 1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring as I didn't think the maple flavor from the syrup alone was enough. Perhaps I will add another T. of syrup the next time instead of the flavoring. They were moist and tasty.....definitely a recipe to add to my favorites!

Even though the ingredients don't list cinnamon, I added it when I saw it in the instructions. I guessed and added 1 tsp. but I wish I hadn't. It over powered the maple flavor too much. Next time I'll leave it out and will probably increase the maple syrup some, maybe even double it. A nice muffin but just not quite as strong of a maple flavor as I was hoping for.
