Yummy Maple Bacon Cupcakes image

This recipe was given to me by a close friend. I was headed to a bacon party and the dessert list was quite limited. These cupcakes were eaten before the entrees and disappeared quickly! The bacon is the clincher. It is a must and the buttermilk in the batter makes it taste amazing.

2 -1/8 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 -1/2 tsp baking powder
1 -1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 -2/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp maple extract

When ready to serve the cupcakes, frost them using an icing spatula or a piping bag fitted with a pastry tip. After frosting, place a piece of chocolate-covered bacon on each cupcake and serve.

BACON SURPRISE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE FROSTING



Bacon Surprise Cupcakes With Maple Frosting image

Felt like I was in Competing in Cupcake Wars! The ingredients from Dining on a Dollar Recipe Contest -- Spring 2013 made it tricky to create a dessert. Must say I nailed it! Tender, soft crumb with hint of bacon bits and topped with Maple frosting complement each other perfectly. The budget ingredient ketchup and applesauce gave the cupcakes a sweetness and added moisture. A MUST MAKE! You won't be disappointed. FYI the bacon is pieces so you will have bits just as if it was chips of chocolate. If you want you can save the bacon bits for just topping the frosting.

PANCAKE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE-BACON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Pancake Cupcakes With Maple-Bacon Buttercream Frosting image

The cupcakes are based on a homemade pancake batter, baked in a muffin tin to form light, fluffy cakes, like a good pancake should be. The frosting is flavored with maple syrup and bacon. Don't attempt to pipe this frosting; the bacon will get stuck in the tip. Adapted from a recipe at Brown-Eyed Baker. http://bit.ly/clnRii

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 slices bacon
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
5 slices bacon
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and arrange bacon on the pan. Bake 15 minutes until very crisp; immediately transfer bacon to paper towels to drain; let cool 5-10 minutes. Crumble bacon and toss with maple syrup. (Note that there is a total of 8 slices of bacon and 1/4 cup of maple syrup in this step.).
  • Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners, and spray liners with non-stick spray.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add a third of the cooled bacon. In a second bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir just until fully moistened (there may be small lumps). Divide the batter evenly amongst the muffin cups and bake in the preheated oven until puffed and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes (they will not brown much). Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until fully cooled.
  • In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, whip the butter on high until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl every minute or two. Turn the speed down to low and add the powdered sugar a little at a time; do not add more until it's nearly completely absorbed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, turn up to medium-high and whip until fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add maple syrup and vanilla and continue to whip 1 minute more. Add half the remaining bacon and stir in with a spatula. Frost the cooled cupcakes with an offset spatula. Top with more bacon.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your icing.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily.
  • Don't overbeat the icing. Overbeating can make it grainy.
  • If the icing is too thick, add a little bit of milk.
  • If the icing is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar.
  • Use the icing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to use the icing, bring it to room temperature before using.

Conclusion:

Maple bacon icing is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It's perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even ice cream. With its rich maple flavor and smoky bacon bits, this icing is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special frosting, give maple bacon icing a try. You won't be disappointed!
