Simple yet delicious. Great maple flavor without being too sweet.(I didn't make the frosting..just sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar and add a few more granola sprinkles before baking). The parchment paper squares are a little time consuming to make, but give the finished product a professional look. I did half with plain cupcake holders.
