Father's Day Cupcakes: Maple Bacon, that is!



Photobucket

There's been great response to the FREEBIE Father's Day Printables Set I released yesterday. I'm so glad everyone is enjoying the set and getting ready to surprise Dad. Now for that recipe I told you about.... MAPLE BACON CUPCAKES. Yes, that's right.... Bacon Cupcakes!

We're talking men here, girls! What man doesn't love bacon? Truth be told, this was actually my husband's idea. And let me just tell you.... party stylist he IS NOT, so I was pretty impressed with his creativity.  I have to say, they tasted pretty good, too, although I also have to admit, if it's got sugar in it I'm all over it and not too picky. But as a little novelty for Father's Day, I think they make a cute "manly" treat.

I adapted the recipe from one I found on Taste of Home. They are a bit of a cross between a corn muffin and cupcake and I sort of liked the sweet and salty mixture.

Photobucket

So are you ready to make those cupcakes for your #1 Man?

Photobucket

Here's what you'll need:

Maple Bacon Cupcakes
4 1/2 tablespoons of butter room temperature
1/2 tablespoon of bacon drippings (left in the refrigerator to solidify)
1 egg
5 tablespoons of brown sugar
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/4 cup of self-rising flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- Small pinch of salt
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon

Maple Frosting
- 4 tablespoons of butter 
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup 
- 1 cup of powdered sugar turbinado sugar (optional but recommended) 
- Coarse grain sea salt (optional but recommended)


Photobucket

Step 1: Cream butter and solidified bacon drippings together.


Photobucket

Step 2: Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and beat again until creamy.

Photobucket

Step 3: Add the egg and beat until combined.


Photobucket

Step 4: Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and then add some of the flour to the wet mixture. Stir the flour in and then add a little of the milk and stir it in. 

Photobucket

Step 5: Keep alternating stirring in flour and then milk, ending with flour. Mix just until combined and then fold half of the bacon pieces.



Photobucket

Step 6: Spoon the batter into baking cups.


Photobucket



Step 7: Place in oven at 350 degrees and bake for 16-19 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Recipe will make about 12 cupcakes.


Photobucket

Step 8: Mix your maple frosting ingredients together and then frost your cooled cupcakes. Add the remaining bacon pieces on top.

Yum! They look sort of pretty, don't you think? Or maybe my husband's love for bacon has rubbed off on me after all these years.

And don't forget to download your FREE FATHER'S DAY PRINTABLES HERE. There's a banner, tags, cupcake toppers and centerpieces all for your TIE-riffic dad, Step-dad or Granddad. Yep, I included some designs for all three so you can cover all of your Father's Day bases. 

Let's celebrate all the men in our lives and make them feel just a bit special if only for a day. We all know the next day it's "back to normal" and we'll be nagging them to pick up their dirty clothes and take out the trash!

Y'all have a great day!

The Unfinished Room said...

I was just going to make these for dessert for Father's Day dinner and I had the bacon drippings cooling on the stove from breakfast. I came in to get the recipe and went back out to the kitchen and my dear hubby had thrown out the bacon drippings! Ugh! Guess I will try them another time. They look delish!

Anonymous said...
