Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Prepare the Frosting: In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the maple frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
