For the French Toast Cupcakes
- 1 box of vanilla mix – I prefer super most Pillsbury white
- 1 cup of butter milk
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil (if the cake mix box calls for more or less oil – use the amount on the box)
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the maple cream cheese frosting
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 5 strips of cooked bacon
Make The French Toast cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Line the muffin cups with paper liners
- Put the cake mix in your mixing bowl
- Add in the buttermilk, vegetable, oil, eggs, nutmeg, and cinnamon
- Beat until moistened – about 30 seconds
- Increase the speed to high and beat until thick – about another 2 mins
- Spoon the mix into the liners filling the cups about 2/3 of the way to the top.
- Bake for 15-20 mins – until a toothpick poked into the cupcake centers comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the baking plans and allow to cool completely before frosting.
Make The the maple cream cheese frosting
- 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.
