Pancake Cupcakes with Maple Bacon Buttercream Frosting
Sheila from Towanda,
Pure Pleasure! Who would have thought you
could make a cupcake from pancake batter, right? This moist, delicious
cupcake along with the maple bacon buttercream frosting will have you
wanting to eat these for breakfast! The sweetness of the frosting and
that touch of bacon gives this cupcake the perfect trifecta!
Cook time: 10 Min Difficulty:
Prep time: 20 Min Serves: 12 Cupcakes
Ingredients
FOR THE CUPCAKES
- 2 c all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 c whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled - 2-3 slc bacon, crumbled into
batter (optional)
FOR THE FROSTING
- 1 c unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 1/2 c powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 slc bacon, cooked, cooled and crumbled
Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a standard muffin pan with
liners and then spray the liners with non-stick spray (important step!).
2. Whisk
together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; set
aside. In a separate medium bowl whisk together the milk and eggs, then
stir in the melted and cooled butter. Add the milk mixture to the dry
ingredients and whisk together until just moistened and combined. Like
pancakes, lumps are okay! Divide the batter between the muffin cups and
bake until puffed and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Let cool for
about 5 minutes and then remove cupcakes to a wire rack to cool
completely.
3. To make the
frosting, use the whisk attachment of a stand mixer to whip the butter
on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the powdered sugar a little at a
time, waiting until it’s mostly incorporated before adding more. Once
all of the powdered sugar has been added, scrape the sides of the bowl
and increase the speed to medium-high and whip until fluffy, 1 to 2
minutes. Add the maple syrup and the vanilla and whip for another minute or so
to incorporate. Add the bacon and mix to combine. Using an offset spatula,
spread the frosting on the cupcakes. Top with additional
crumbled bacon if desired.
4. NOTE: You
can add a couple slices of crumbled bacon to your batter, as well as
some maple syrup if you would like to give that cupcake some extra
flavor. Just use your better judgment on the amount you want in the
batter.
