0 Peanut Butter Cupcakes =]

Oh, yes, I did. Peanut butter... cupcakes. The recipe came from >HERE< they're number seventeen, and I'm so glad I didn't discount the entire list after the apple snafu. These were so good, heavy, but good. Here they are:

Not the most attractive things in the world by a long shot but I promise that's only because you can't taste them through your screen. This is what goes into them:

Easy enough, I had a lot of these things on hand, the cinnamon is new and I substituted the peanut butter in the recipe for the roast peanut and honey stuff I found in my cabinet.

Start with 3/4 stick of butter, 1 C brown sugar and 1 C peanut butter in the mixer

My camera doesn't like to see color for what it really is, I apologize

Add an egg and some vanilla extract

Add 1 C flour, some cinnamon and 1 tsp baking powder

Once you've got that good and mixed, add 1/2 C milk

It should look something like this

Bake 20min at 350F

They look so yummy!

All done! Now for the frosting:

Peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla 

And now take them from here...

To there! These were great I think I've said that already but it's the truth. I love peanut butter though so I may just be biased. If I hadn't recently developed an aversion to making the same thing more than once I may just say I'd make these again but I have and I probably won't for the simple fact that I've already made them and there are other things to make that I haven't yet made. 

Happy Baking!

Enjoy! =]

4 Apple Cupcakes

This is another one of those mishaps.. I'll explain more on that later, for now:

To start off with, you will need this:

Starting with the egg, sugar and oil

Mix well

Yay! Now apples

These may should've been added last, but theres only one apple in there, I recommend using a potato peeler then cutting it up. 

Mix

Add the flour

Baking powder  and spices

Mix, mix

Then throw into the oven for 30min at 350F

Frosting time! You can make your favorite or whatever, I used a basic butter+milk+powdered sugar

Add a little flavor

Yay! Check on the cupcakes...

Oh.. my. well. uhm...

I'm really not sure what happened here. 

I tried to salvage them in the form of like a cobbler type thing, but that didn't work out either, so I just threw it out and tossed the frosting along with it. I wasn't happy with it. the recipe came from >HERE< and I followed it, you can check me, if you see something I didn't, please comment. 

Happy Baking!

0 Blueberry Cupcakes

I made blueberry cupcakes, NOT muffins =]

These were pretty easy and very good. I like to think they were mildly healthy even though I know that's not the case because I used actual fresh blueberries. I also like to think they should be considered breakfast because I love cake for breakfast they contain actual fresh blueberries... I found the recipe for them >HERE< along with a bajillion other recipes, fear not, I will be making some of them also. These are number 19, Heres how they turned out:

Here is all the things that go into them:

Start with half a stick of butter in the mixer

Add 3/4 C sugar

Mix it all up

Yay!

Add an egg

Pour in 3/4 C buttermilk

Mix and add 1/4 C regular milk

Add 1 1/2 C flour

Mix mix mix

Throw in 1 1/2 t baking powder

Yay!

Line a muffin tin with paper liners

Toss in a cup of blueberries (fresh ones from the produce section -not that I know of any other kind)

Stir them in

They bake for 20min at 350F

To make the frosting start with butter, its best softened

Add powdered sugar

Pour in some milk and whisk until blended

Add some maple syrup

And spread evenly onto cooled cupcakes

YAY! All done! These were really good and I don't even like real blueberries. I took them to Sunday school and brought home an empty container, I think that means they went over well =]

Happy Baking!

Enjoy! =]
