Muffins with Maple Syrup and Cinnamon

The muffins with maple syrup and cinnamon are a fit version of the classic Anglo-Saxon treats. We used a zero-calorie maple syrup and replaced sugar with powdered stevia, transforming them from ultra-caloric muffins to light yet flavorful muffins.
Consider that a classic muffin provides about 300 kcal, while these zero-calorie maple syrup muffins have only 140 kcal per serving.
They are perfect for a snack, but also great for breakfast or as a mid-day snack.
