Mini Maple Bundts....


It's sugaring season in New England and the annual tapping of the maple trees is a welcome sight for weary winter eyes.   Aluminum buckets hanging securely from stately maples trees are announcing to all that spring has arrived.  A scenic drive up to New Hampshire for the molten maple sugar is a welcome diversion from tedious spring chores. I bought my large jug and home I went to make these mini maple bundt goodies. They take minutes to make and bake and are a yummy breakfast or afternoon treat.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 
  • 3/4 tsp. baking powder 
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda 
  • pinch of salt 
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten) 
  • 1 6 oz container plain Greek yogurt 
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. canola oil 
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice 
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. real maple syrup 

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl stir together egg, yogurt, oil, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold everything together until just combined.
  4. Divide batter evenly into a greased mini bundt pan. The batter will be pretty thick.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a minute or two and then flip over onto a cooling rack while still warm.  Make a glaze with 1/2 cup of confectionery sugar and a few tablespoon of pure maple syrup.  Stream the glaze over the mini bundts and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

  3. They look so yummy, I don't have tiny bundt pans but I do have those doughnut pans I bet I could use that batter and make up a batch. I know though they won't taste like yours though with fresh maple syrup. Yum. I love that picture of the buckets.
    It just looks so nice.
    Did you ever take a rug hooking class? I was thinking about that today as I was hooking and I wondered if you ever did it. Enjoy your spring break, we don't have ours for another month, I think, this is always the hardest push.
    Have a lovely week. I am with Meg, I would like to live in your kitchen.

    Hey, I have all those ingredients here too, so guess what'll be baking in my kitchen soon. They look so delicious.
    Love the bucket photo. I guess I'll have to work my way through autumn and winter before spring arrives here, so I'll enjoy spring through your eyes for now :D

  13. Hello, those look irresistable. I've got a couple 'mapley' things from my great grandparents farm in southern New Hampshire, where they tapped their own maple trees, and boiled the syurp down in a huge kettle on their stove!
    Really like the yougurt addititon~

  22. I just love maple syrup.We were given a bottle from the kind people at Rabbit Hill Inn, where we honeymooned.It is in the shape of a maple leaf and we will never open it. I loved the pancakes we had there smothered in syrup and each time now we have it, I am reminded of our lovely time in Vermont.

  24. Thank you for stopping by my blog and the comment as well. I'm very happy to see you at mines as well. These mini bundts look scrumptious and I've book marked it. I gave the lemon and rosemary scent a go at my house and the hubs went down to the kitchen to see what I was cooking. As the aroma was lingering in the air, I decided to bake lemon and rosemary herb chicken since I've already got the ingredients! : )Have a lovely weekend.
