Vanilla Cinnamon Bacon Cupcakes

Hello! I know it has been a long time since my last post. Sorry for the delay but I've been doing some extreme wedding planning for the last two weeks.

My posts might be few and far between this month because I'll be spending most of it traveling and visiting friend and family I haven't seen much of in the last two years.

The Carnivore isn't travelling with me. However, I am


so thankful to be marrying a man that is secure enough in our relationship for me to be out of town for an extended period of time.

Therefore, before I left I decided to make a special dessert as a treat for him that highlighted his love of bacon. After looking at several recipes I used bits and pieces and created my own Vanilla Cinnamon Bacon Cupcakes.


Batter
1 stick of butter
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp cinnamon

I always crack the eggs first to make sure I don't end up with shells in the batter. Then I added all the other ingredients together and mixed on medium for about 30 seconds.

I baked the cupcakes on 350 for 18 minutes.

Frosting
1 cup butter
4 cups of powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

I topped each cupcake with two pieces of crisp maple bacon that I cooked on a cookie sheet in the oven.

This recipe made 12 yummy cupcakes. However, I did have quite a bit of frosting left over.

I had planned to take the extras to the guys upstairs that taste tested my vegan pb&j cake but The Carnivore wouldn't let me give away even one of these cupcakes. He loved the frosting. It was super vanilla-y. The cupcake itself was sweet I think the cinnamon flavor really tied the cupcake to the bacon.
