These pancake batter cupcakes are far less sweet than most cupcakes, and the sweet maple frosting makes them a perfect combination. Top with a piece of maple brown sugar bacon or a little cinnamon sugar. The darkest grade of maple syrup will be the most flavorful. Maple flakes are made with pure maple syrup. If you have some, sprinkle some over the frosting. If you like these, try your hand at other autumnal cupcakes like carrot cupcakes with vanilla cream cheese frosting, pumpkin cupcakes, or butter pecan cupcakes with brown sugar frosting.
