Our recipe for Homemade Maple Bacon Cupcakes is so easy to make from scratch. With delicious maple frosting, fresh cooked bacon and a moist cake base, it's just like the best of having breakfast - for dessert!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together sugar and butter until it is light and fluffy. Add vanilla and maple extracts, mix again.
Add eggs, one at, mixing between each addition. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and milk. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the maple syrup/milk mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing each addition until just combined.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the middle cupcake comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together butter and extracts for frosting until well combined.
Add powdered sugar and mix on low speed until sugar is combined. Mix for 1 minute or so on medium-high speed. If frosting is too thick, add a dash of milk, or if it is too thin, add a tbsp of powdered sugar at a time until it is the right consistency.
Once cupcakes have cooled, frost, and top with a piece of cooked bacon. Enjoy!
