Time 1h20m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1 3.9-ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon potato starch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup half-and-half, at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon (5 strips)
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 strips bacon, cooked and chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place paper liners in a 12-cup muffin tin. Prepare the cupcakes: Combine the flours, pudding mix, baking powder, potato starch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl with a whisk.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars with a mixer on low speed until combined, 6 to 8 minutes. Gradually mix in the vanilla and egg whites. Scrape down the sides of the bowl; continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the maple syrup and half-and-half, mixing after each addition and ending with flour. Mix until the ingredients are just combined; do not overmix. Fold in the bacon.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters of the way. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: Beat the cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon; beat until combined. Spread on the cooled cupcakes; top with chopped bacon, if desired.

The cupcakes were a bit dry. I think I overcooked them. I'll have to try again and bake them for a shorter amount of time.

These cupcakes were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less maple syrup next time.

I'm not a fan of bacon, but I still enjoyed these cupcakes. The maple syrup flavor was delicious, and the cupcakes were perfectly moist.

These cupcakes are so easy to make, and they're a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have bacon in my fridge, so I can make these cupcakes anytime.

I added a few extra pieces of bacon to the batter, and it made the cupcakes even more delicious. I also drizzled some maple syrup on top before serving.

I used a gluten-free flour blend to make these cupcakes, and they turned out great! They were just as fluffy and moist as the regular version.

I love that these cupcakes can be made ahead of time. I made them the night before, and they were just as delicious the next morning.

These cupcakes are perfect for a special occasion breakfast or brunch. They're also great for a grab-and-go breakfast on busy mornings.

I'm not a huge fan of maple syrup, but these cupcakes changed my mind! The sweetness of the maple syrup was perfectly balanced by the saltiness of the bacon. I loved the texture of the cupcakes too - they were fluffy and moist.

These cupcakes were a hit at my breakfast party! The maple french toast flavor was unique and delicious, and the bacon bits added a savory touch. I'll definitely be making these again.
