Rum Butter Muffins

Introducing our delectable Rum Butter muffins, a delightful treat crafted with the finest ingredients, including Wood's maple products. These muffins feature a perfect balance of flavors, blending the rich sweetness of maple with a hint of rum.

Each muffin is made with care, starting with 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ensuring a fluffy and tender texture. The heart of these muffins lies in the combination of butter and Wood's Vermont Maple Sugar, providing a luscious maple undertone that elevates the taste to new heights. To enhance the moistness and richness, we add ¼ cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, ½ cup of sour cream, and ¼ cup of whole milk, all brought to room temperature for optimal blending.

For a touch of aromatic indulgence, we incorporate 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, infusing the batter with its captivating fragrance. But what truly sets these muffins apart is the inclusion of Wood's Rum Barrel Aged Maple Syrup, which adds a unique depth and complexity of flavor, gently complementing the maple essence.

To crown these delightful treats, we recommend a sprinkle of Wood's Maple Sprinkles or a dollop of Maple Cream (both optional) on the muffin tops. This finishing touch adds a delightful crunch or creamy note, enhancing the overall sensory experience.

With our Rum Butter muffins, you'll embark on a journey of taste and texture, where the warmth of maple and the essence of rum come together harmoniously. Indulge in these heavenly treats for a memorable culinary adventure that will leave you craving more.

Rum Butter Muffins

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425℉/220℃ and line a muffin tin (either standard or jumbo) with liners.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. (I use a sifter)
  3. Beat the butter, sugar, and vegetable oil together on medium-high speed for two minutes. Scrape down the sides.
  4. Add the eggs and beat on medium speed for one minute. Scrape down the sides again.
  5. Add the sour cream, milk, and vanilla and mix until combined, then add the Wood's Rum Maple Syrup and mix again.
  6. Pour in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until a few streaks of flour remain. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and finish folding in the flour. (Consistency was dry so I added ¼ cup of water).
  7. Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to fill the liners completely, then top with Wood's Maple sprinkles.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes at 425℉/220℃, then lower the temperature to 350℉ for 10-12 minutes for regular muffins and 15-17 minutes for jumbo muffins. A toothpick inserted into the center will come out clean with no wet batter.
  9. Cool for 2 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy warm or room temperature.
  10. Store the muffins lightly covered at room temperature. Place the muffin(s) in a 425℉/220℃ oven for 3 minutes to crisp up the tops.
