Cereal Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 12-cup muffin tin with foil cupcake liners. Fill ¼ of the way full with the cake batter. You want the baked cupcakes to not quite reach the top edge of the wrapper.
• Bake the cupcakes according to the package instructions. Remove from the oven at the lower end of what the box recommends, or when a toothpick poked into a cupcake comes out clean.
• In a gallon zip-top bag, crush the cereal into small crumbs.
• In a large bowl, combine the cereal crumbs and melted butter.
• Using the end of a wooden spoon or spatula, poke holes in the cupcakes.
• Fill the holes with the sweetened condensed milk.
• Top the cupcakes with the cereal crumb mixture and pack down with a spoon, creating a uniform crust.
• Individually wrap the cupcakes in plastic wrap.
• Chill the cupcakes in a cooler or the refrigerator until ready to eat.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Spray muffin pans with cooking spray. set aside.
• 2. Melt butter in microwave 45 seconds til melted down. Add marshmallows microwave 1min 35 seconds, stiring half way through.
• 3. Add cereals and nuts stir well. Refrigerate for hour. Place each chilled cereal in cupcake liners. Frost and decorate. Keep in covered container.

Steps:

• Make the cereal milk: Separate the marshmallows and cereal from the Lucky Charms™ and set the marshmallows aside for assembling the cupcakes.
• Add the cereal and milk to a large liquid measuring cup. Let the cereal soak for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the cereal milk through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean liquid measuring cup. Discard the cereal and set the cereal milk aside.
• Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for about 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating between each addition until incorporated. Add the sour cream and vanilla, and beat until combined.
• With the mixer running on low speed, alternate additions of the flour mixture and ¾ cup of the cereal milk until incorporated. Do not overmix.
• Fill each cupcake liner with the batter to about ⅔ of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the cupcakes feel springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• While the cupcakes are cooling, make the buttercream: Add the flour and remaining ¾ cup cereal milk to a small saucepan and whisk until all of the flour is incorporated. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking continuously, for about 2 minutes, or until thickened. Immediately remove the pot from the heat and add the sugar and salt. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved; the mixture will thin out after the sugar is added.
• Transfer the mixture into a shallow dish and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the refrigerator for about 1 hour, until cool, but not fully chilled.
• Once the flour mixture has cooled, beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Slowly add the flour mixture, 1 spoonful at a time, until completely incorporated. Add the vanilla, then increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip until the frosting is light and fluffy. (It should hold its shape on the whisk.) If the frosting is too runny, chill the bowl for 30 minutes before whipping again. If it is too thick and chunky, let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before whipping again. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip.
• Assemble the cupcakes: Cut out the center of each cupcake and fill each with 5-6 Lucky Charms™ Marshmallows. Pipe the buttercream in a swirl on top of each cupcake. Crush some of the remaining marshmallows between your fingertips and sprinkle on top of the cupcakes. Use a small, food-safe brush to apply small bits of gold leaf to the tops of the cupcakes, then place a whole marshmallow atop each cupcake.
• Serve the cupcakes at room temperature. Leftover cupcakes will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Enjoy!
