Why it works: Baked in a muffin tin, rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar. Ready in 30 minutes.

A cozy American dessert classic with a maple twist because hey, this is MapleEats after all.

Sweet Tooth Recipe Tips from My Kitchen
I’ve made a lot of desserts over the years, and here are a few things that make a big difference:
1. Room Temp Ingredients Are Key
Cold butter or eggs can ruin your batter’s texture. Take ‘em out 30 minutes early it’s worth the wait.
2. Don’t Overbake
Most American ovens run a little hot. If your cookies or brownies seem dry, try pulling them out 1–2 minutes earlier.
3. Invest in Vanilla Extract
The real deal, not the imitation stuff. It makes everything from frosting to pancakes taste more luxurious.
