Maple Muffins

Over Thanksgiving break, many families will spend a great deal of time together and a lot of that time will be spent together in the kitchen; we all know that, after three weekdays with no schools, GCA students are going to be looking for something to do! I found this easy recipe for Maple Muffins (They look so sweet that they should probably be called cupcakes!) that is sure to keep at least some of the students entertained for a little while.
