The morning after a holiday is always a bit of a let down. You wait expectantly for the big day and then as quickly as it came, it’s gone. I think the day after needs a little something to make things special. These Maple Sugar Muffins should do that quite nicely. The gooey, spicy, sweetness should wake up anyone’s morning and cheer up a gloomy mood any day.
