Description
The rich flavor of maple syrup and the light caramel flavor from the brown sugar are what make these brown sugar maple cupcakes extra special. And if that wasn’t enough, we topped it with my incredible maple buttercream and drizzled more maple syrup. A surprisingly simple and easy recipe to make.

Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven at 325°F/ 165°C / Gas Mark 3.
- Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the egg with sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the oil and maple syrup, and whip for a minute. Then, add the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
- Finally, add the flour mix and combine until smooth (continue to use the whisk attachment).
- Divide the batter between 12 to 15 cupcake liners.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Buttercream
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter, maple syrup, salt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch for 1 minute, until smooth.
- Start adding the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Once all the powdered sugar is in, continue to whip for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Frost cupcakes
- Put the frosting in a piping bag with a star tip or similar. Pipe a generous swirl over the cupcakes.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of maple syrup (this is optional). Decorate as desired. I used some whole spices.
- Enjoy!
