The maple syrup adds just a hint of maple flavor. If you don't have maple syrup on hand, replace it with honey. Be sure to use gluten-free cornmeal as not all brands are safe for those on a gluten-free diet.

For Muffins: Divide batter evenly among 12 paper-lined muffin cups, filling cups about halfway each. Bake until golden brown, about 32 minutes.
