I've been stockpiling recipes for ages and all I can think of is how I wish I had a bigger oven and more time in the day just so I could make them all at once and gorge myself on deliciousness.
These Apple Pie Cupcakes just look divine. I, of course, would probably tweak the recipe a bit and throw some cinnamon and fresh-grated nutmeg into the cupcake batter, but that's just me (if I could live off cinnamon I would).
I made these little darlings for Valentines Day and brought them into work for everyone to nibble on throughout the shift, only I rolled them out and used a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut them up. I'm not a huge shortbread fan, but add a little espresso and some chocolate chips to the batter and damn is it tasty. Next time I think I'll use a little extra butter to soften them up and make them extra melt-in-your-mouth, but everyone who had them said they were perfect as is.
A quick tip with this recipe? I rolled the dough between two pieces of wax paper and layed it flat in the freezer for less than 10 minutes (instead of leaving it in the fridge for hours). The dough was perfectly chilled and ready to be cut up without sticking to anything or ripping.
I've been dying to make these French Breakfast Muffins for weeks. Rumor has it that these muffins melt in your mouth, and almost taste like a doughnut.
Really? A doughnut? All the tastiness without the deep frying? I'm in. Plus they're rolled in cinnamon sugar....did I mention how much I love cinnamon? *drool*
These Gingerbread Cupcakes would have been perfect for the holidays. Imagine a spicy little warm-from-the-oven cupcake making those -40°C winter nights seem to dissolve away. What a comforting thought. Well I'll use the excuse that there's still snow on the ground, and even though it's not -40°C anymore, it's still cold enough!
The perfect late-summer/fall treat? Maple Carrot Cupcakes. I love carrot cake, especially when it's really moist and just falls apart at the site of a fork, so the thought of adding a bunch of really rich maple syrup to the blend sounds amazing. Maybe it's the Canadian in me, maybe it's that I have an insatiable sweet tooth and would jump at any opportunity to smother something in syrup, but whatever it is, I can't wait to mix these two flavors together, with a dollop of cream cheese icing on top, of course, and devour them.
Nutella Coffe Frosting I imagine would be delicious on any cupcake you could make. I'm not a HUGE fan of nutella like some people I know, but having it in subtle amounts I must say is uber yum.
I also want to work on finding/adapting a recipe to make a peanut butter cupcake (chocolate chips most likely included).
I WILL be making all of this eventually, and I promise to share the success (or fail) of these recipes and just how tasty (or icky) they are.
