Maple Walnut Blueberry Muffins

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 Tablespoon Maple powder
• 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
• 1 stick butter (melted)
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 beaten eggs

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and Maple powder. Set aside. Spray a glass measuring cup with cooking spray. Measure the Maple Syrup into the cup. Add the stick of butter. Put in the microwave, on high for about 1 minute, watching carefully. When the butter is mostly melted, remove from microwave, and stir butter until it finishes melting in the syrup. Add the milk. Add the Syrup/butter mixture to the flour mixture, and add the two beaten eggs. Mix well. Fold in the blueberries and chopped walnuts. Spray muffin tin with baking spray. Fill 2/3 full. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until they test done. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, before removing to cooling rack.
