These cake mix maple walnut muffins are light as air with a combination of great ingredients that come together to give them a wonderful earthy flavor.
The recipe is so easy too.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake foil liners. If you can’t find foil then you can use paper liners. In a large bowl mix together the cake mix and seltzer with a rubber spatula. After combined, beat with a hand held electric mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until nice and fluffy. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, maple extract (optional), salt, baking powder, egg, or Egg Beaters and the 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon. Beat on low speed until combined. Fold in the walnut pieces. Let the batter sit in the fridge for 15 minutes. This is an important step as it makes for much larger muffin tops. After 15 minutes. Mix gently .Pour batter into muffin cups using an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop or use a tablespoon or a serving spoon and fill cups 3/4 of the way up. You will have enough batter for 16 muffins. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until lightly browned and a wooden skewer or tooth pick should come out clean when ready. Enjoy!
