YUMMY MAPLE BACON CUPCAKES
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.

PANCAKE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE-BACON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
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

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.

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.

BACON SURPRISE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE FROSTING
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.

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! :)
MAPLE BACON ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES
Steps:
- For the bacon: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a rack over it. Arrange the bacon strips on the rack so they are not overlapping. Stir the maple syrup and brown sugar together in a small bowl. Brush both sides of the bacon with the maple mixture and bake until crisp and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly on the rack, loosen from the rack, then cool completely. Finely chop 4 slices of the bacon; set the remaining slices aside for garnish.
- For the cupcakes: Set the ice-cream cones into the cups of 2 muffin tins. Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions, adding the maple extract and finely chopped bacon after the batter is combined. Pour the batter into a small pitcher (work in batches if necessary) and fill each cone so that batter comes 1/4 inch below the top cupped portion. Bake until the cake rises above the edges of the cones and a tester inserted in the center of one comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool completely.
- For the buttercream: Beat the butter on high speed in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low and add the confectioners' sugar. Beat until the sugar is incorporated, then increase the speed to high and until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the maple syrup and salt. Mix on low until combined, then gradually increase speed to medium high. Add milk a tablespoon at a time to make a smooth, pipeable frosting. Beat on high until very smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Put the buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe spiral swirls on top of the cupcakes (to resemble soft-serve ice cream). Break the 6 remaining slices of maple bacon into large chunks and stick a chunk into the top of each cupcake.
CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE-BACON BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- Make the cupcakes: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 12-cup muffin tin and line with cupcake liners; set aside. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon; set aside.
- In a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine butter, both sugars and salt. Cream on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 minutes. With machine running, add eggs one at a time, and mix until well incorporated, 2 minutes. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, turn mixer speed to low, and add 1/4 of the dry ingredients. When no traces of flour remain, add 1/3 of the buttermilk and mix until incorporated.
- Continue alternating flour mixture and buttermilk, ending with flour. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, and gently mix in chopped chocolate and oatmeal. Divide among muffin cups; each should be 3/4 full. Bake until a tester comes out clean, 30 minutes. Turn out of tin and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the frosting: In a heavy skillet, cook bacon over low heat until fat is rendered and meat is crisp. Set a sieve over bowl of mixer, and pour skillet contents into sieve. Reserve bacon bits. You should have no more than 3 tablespoons bacon fat in mixer bowl; set aside additional bacon fat for another use.
- Return skillet to heat and add butter. Butter will melt, then foam, then separate into golden liquid and white solids. Let butter cook, scraping bottom of pan occasionally to prevent burning, until milk solids toast and turn brown. Transfer browned butter to mixer bowl and refrigerate until cold.
- In separate bowl, combine milk, cream, crème fraîche, vanilla and maple syrup. In mixer bowl, cream bacon fat and brown butter with salt until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and mix at medium speed until fluffy, about 8 minutes. With mixer running, pour in milk mixture and continue mixing until smooth. Refrigerate until cold.
- Frost the cupcakes: With small offset spatula, fluff frosting until soft and spreadable but not runny. Spread about 3 tablespoons frosting on each cooled cupcake. Sprinkle a pinch of bacon bits and a pinch of flaky salt on top. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare cake mix by recommended directions, adding sour cream, and 2 tablespoons mapleine. Mix well. Add pudding mix at the end and scrape down til well mixed. batter will be slightly thick. You can add chopped nuts at this time also if desired.
- 2. Scoop into paper lined cupcake pan, 2/3 full. Turn oven down to about 325 and bake as directed on cake mix for cupcakes. Because the batter has added thickeners it may take a few minute longer. Check with toothpick for doneness. Let stand for about 2 minutes. Turn out onto rack to cool.
- 3. Place can of frosting in mixer, add enough powdered sugar to thicken it a little, about a cup and a half, or to your desired thickness. It is easier to pipe then straight out of the can when it can get a little thinner in your warm hands. Place into piping tube fitted with desired tip, I prefer star shape. Frost cooled cupcakes.
- 4. Sprinkle crumbles bacon over cupcakes. Mix about 1 tablespoon mapleine with 2 tsp milk, add to about 2 cups powdered sugar. Mix well and add powdered sugar until it resembles a thin frosting. Drizzle over top of bacon using a ziploc baggie or just a fork dipped and dangled over.
- 5. You can omit the bacon and use nuts instead for Maple nut cupcakes.
