Ingredients
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 2 large eggs
– ½ cup buttermilk
– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon pure maple extract
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk
– Baking pan (8×8 or 9×9)
– Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Cooling rack
– Small saucepan (for glaze)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later on. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until everything is well combined. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and maple extract. This step is where the kitchen starts to smell heavenly! Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and a little lumpy, and that’s perfectly okay!
