Spoon the mixture evenly into each prepared muffin cup, filling them nearly full.
06 -
Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each cup if desired for added texture and sweetness.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cups to cool in the muffin tin for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store baked cups in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer preservation.

For a vegan variation, substitute milk with a plant-based alternative and replace eggs with flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water, set for 5 minutes).

Adjust maple syrup amount to modify sweetness according to preference.
