Sweet Spicy Bacon Cupcake Recipe

Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Maple Bacon Cupcakes

Hey there, foodies! Today I’m excited to share a special treat that combines two of my favorite things — bacon and cupcakes. These Spicy Maple Bacon Cupcakes are the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a little kick of heat. I love making these for brunch gatherings or as a unique dessert option for dinner parties.

Ingredients:

• 200g bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 250g all-purpose flour
• 10g baking powder
• 5g salt
• 150ml maple syrup
• 150g unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 200ml buttermilk
• 1 jalapeno, finely diced
• 15ml sriracha sauce

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• muffin tin
• cooling rack

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, jalapeno, and sriracha until well combined. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Next, gently fold in the cooked and crumbled bacon until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. These cupcakes are best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature.

One unusual tip for these Spicy Maple Bacon Cupcakes is to brush the tops with a little extra maple syrup as soon as they come out of the oven. This adds a glossy finish and an extra layer of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the salty bacon and spicy kick.

I hope you enjoy making and sharing these Spicy Maple Bacon Cupcakes with your loved ones. Get creative with the recipe and feel free to adjust the spice level to suit your taste. Happy baking!
