Carnation Maple Muffins Recipe

Rescued from a vintage Carnation evaporated milk can, this 80s family recipe for Carnation Maple Muffins is back! A nostalgic treat made with medium-grade maple syrup (for that rich flavor!), this recipe is surprisingly easy and delivers incredibly moist, delicious muffins. We've tweaked the original for a modern twist – using oil instead of shortening, and a touch more maple syrup for extra sweetness. Get ready for a taste of childhood memories (or create some new ones!).

How to Make Carnation Maple Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Add 1/2 cup rolled oats to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 3/4 cup medium-grade maple syrup, and 1 large egg.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
