These muffins taste like a warm cinnamon sugar donut met a stack of maple pancakes. Soft and fluffy inside with a golden top, they’re dipped in a sweet maple glaze and sprinkled with crunchy sugar for that perfect bakery-style finish. Ideal for cozy mornings, afternoon coffee breaks, or anytime you need a little autumn pick-me-up.
