Bake the pancake muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 11 to 13 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Serve them with additional maple syrup, if desired. Editor's Tip: When muffins cool in their pans for a few minutes, they firm up slightly and are easier to lift free, even those encased in paper cups. When they finish cooling on racks, the paper dries out, instead of trapping steam and making the muffin bottoms soggy.
