What To Serve With It
When it comes to enjoying these muffins, I’ve found they pair wonderfully with a few easy additions that make the experience even better.
For fall beverages, I love sipping on a warm chai latte or a creamy pumpkin spice coffee—they complement the muffins’ cozy flavors perfectly.
If you’re planning a brunch, try serving them with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal. A dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of extra maple glaze on the side never hurts, either.
These simple pairings turn a muffin into a full, satisfying treat!
