Bacon Maple Cupcakes

Tonight, I started on the Bacon Maple Cupcake Bread Pudding that I am planning to make for the breakfast Tuesday morning. It starts out with Maple Bacon Cupcakes.

Bacon Maple Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 Tbsp. Maple Flavoring
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup boiling water
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and diced into small pieces

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla and maple, mix for until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the boiling water. Batter will be thin. Pour into cupcake liners (about 3/4 full). Top cupcakes with bacon pieces. Bake 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

Well, these cupcakes definitely smell - interesting. I'm not going to try to eat them now, since I need all of them for the bread pudding. Hopefully, all will go well.
