Pancake Cupcakes

 

 

I think I'm getting a reputation at church as being the cupcake maker.

A friend came up to me at church and told me he had had a dream about a pancake cupcake and challenged me to make one.  Well, his birthday is tomorrow so SURPRISE... I give you a pancake cupcake!  I take NO credit for coming up with this recipe on my own.  In fact, there are several pancake cupcake recipes out there in blog world!  I found this one from brown eyed baker and you can find the recipe HERE.  The thought of bacon on a cupcake pretty much grossed me out, however, the mix of salty and sweet in that maple buttercream is de-lish.  So yummy.  A few things I learned and will remember next time is to really spray down the cupcake liners, the pancake sticks to the liner pretty badly and the recipe says to bake them for 10 minutes, but mine took about 13 minutes.  And, I drizzled some maple syrup on top of the cupcakes before frosting them, too.

My house has smelled like BREAKFAST all day from that bacon...
