MAPLE FRENCH TOAST AND BACON CUPCAKES
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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread for the French toast cupcakes. Stale or old bread will not produce the same light and fluffy texture.
- Make sure to soak the bread in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will help the bread to absorb the flavor of the egg mixture and cook evenly.
- Do not overcook the French toast cupcakes. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and slightly puffed up.
- Serve the French toast cupcakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, or fruit.
- For the bacon cupcakes, use a good quality bacon that is not too thick or too thin. Thick bacon will be difficult to cook evenly, while thin bacon will be too crispy.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not burnt. You can cook the bacon in the oven, on the stovetop, or in an air fryer.
- Once the bacon is cooked, let it cool slightly before chopping it into small pieces.
- When making the bacon cupcake batter, be sure to mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Overmixing the batter will result in tough cupcakes.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the cupcakes will overflow in the oven.
- Bake the bacon cupcakes until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bacon cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. If you frost them while they are still warm, the frosting will melt.
