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

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.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup vegetable shortening
1 cup pancake mix (such as Aunt Jemima® Original)
1 cup cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 cup unsalted butter
3 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup finely chopped cooked bacon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Beat sugar and shortening together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Sift pancake mix and flour together in a separate bowl; add baking powder. Combine buttermilk and egg in another bowl.
  • Add flour mixture to the creamed shortening in batches, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition. Mix until combined; batter should be thick, not runny. Spoon batter into the muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean, 15 to 16 minutes.
  • Cool cupcakes on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 20 minutes.
  • Beat butter at high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Sift in powdered sugar slowly, beating until well combined. Add maple syrup, bacon, vanilla extract, and salt; mix well. Pipe buttercream onto cooled cupcakes.

PANCAKE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE BACON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Pancake Cupcakes with Maple Bacon Buttercream Frosting image

This is one of those times when bacon really DOES belong in dessert! We loved the maple-bacon flavor in the icing... A great way to start your day!

Categories     Pancakes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

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 slice 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 slice bacon, cooked, cooled and crumbled

Steps:

  • 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. Some folks just like a simple pancake batter thats why I have listed the bacon in the batter as being optional. They are delicious both ways. Enjoy! :)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cupcakes will be. Look for fresh bacon, buttermilk, and pure maple syrup.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only halfway: The cupcakes will rise as they bake, so don't overfill the liners.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cupcakes are cooked through.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Get creative with the frosting: You can use any type of frosting you like, such as maple cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Bacon pancake cupcakes are a delicious and unique breakfast treat that are perfect for special occasions or everyday enjoyment. With a few simple tips, you can make these cupcakes at home and impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a fun and tasty breakfast recipe, give bacon pancake cupcakes a try!
