Cinnamon Sugar Maple Ginger Pops

Delightful bite-sized muffin pops infused with warm cinnamon, maple syrup, and zesty ginger, finished with a sweet cinnamon sugar coating — perfect for breakfast or a fun snack.

I first made these muffin pops for a weekend brunch and my family devoured them faster than I could roll in cinnamon sugar. The maple syrup and ginger are a winning combination everyone enjoys.

Prep the pan:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini paper liners.

Mix dry ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.

Mix wet ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, granulated sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Combine batter:

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined (do not overmix).

Fill muffin cups:

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full.

Bake:

Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool:

Let muffin pops cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Make cinnamon sugar:

Mix the rolling sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Coat muffin pops:

While muffin pops are still slightly warm, brush each with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

Serve:

Insert lollipop sticks if desired for a pop effect. Serve warm or at room temperature.
