Butter pecan ice cream is (in my opinion) one of the best ice cream flavors! I love getting the chunks of pecans laced throughout the buttery ice cream base…so satisfying. So, we decided to create a cupcake inspired by this iconic ice cream flavor. These cupcakes have a brown butter cupcake base that has pecan pieces scattered within all while being topped with a seriously yummy brown butter marshmallow buttercream that’s as light as a cloud!

I have never seen/tasted a butter pecan cupcake before that actually tastes like buttery nutty goodness. It’s always a very lightly extract-flavored cupcake base that just tastes like vanilla. We wanted to avoid any sort of confusion with these cupcakes regarding the flavor and made sure that you will taste butter pecan in each and every bite, through and through! To achieve this punch of flavor though, you will have to put in a tiny bit of effort, but it is 100% worth it.

You will never have a banana cupcake as fluffy, light, and moist as this! When taking a bite, it literally feels like you’re eating air! This can sometimes be a problem because it makes them super easy to eat - I could accidentally eat a few of these without thinking 😂 Not only are the cupcakes themselves super light, but the cinnamon marshmallow buttercream is sooooo dreamy and comforting - it’s a small taste of Fall that you can get at any time of the year. We also sprinkled some chopped walnuts on top to give a lovely crunch and nuttiness that adds to the essence of Fall in these cupcakes.

I feel like it’s inevitable to have a bunch of ripening bananas laying around the house. We’ll go through kicks of buying enough bananas for the week and then only eating 1-2 of them because we forget that they’re there. They get way to brown to even consider eating normally, so the next best thing to use them for is this Gluten-Free Banana Cupcake recipe! What I love about this recipe is that it only makes 1 dozen cupcakes and not some obscene amount that you can’t store anywhere. It makes the perfect amount for you, your family, and your friends!

The PERFECT cupcake recipe has officially been created!! These chocolate peanut butter explosion cupcakes are FINALLY making their debut! These cupcakes consist of a moist, peanut butter cupcake which is cored and filled with a smooth, fudgy chocolate ganache with bonus crunchies from salted peanuts. On top of that deliciousness, there’s a fluffy peanut butter frosting that gets DUNKED in a milk chocolate “magic shell” before getting garnished with a Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup! Is there anything that could possibly live up to this excellence? Of course not!!!

We take serious care to ensure that our recipes don’t taste gluten-free, especially our cupcakes. Not only do our cupcakes ever taste gluten-free, but they taste better than a fancy bakery! These cupcakes a serious crowd-pleaser and are surely going to impress your guests. They aren’t super heavy either, so your guests (and you) can eat 1-2 of them without feeling like you just ate an entire cake. I’m certainly guilty of sneaking an extra cupcake whenever they’re sitting around and these cupcakes are simply irresistible, so don’t be surprised if you can’t help yourself to a few extra bites! 😂

Summer is finally here! That means it's time for fresh, sweet, summer fruits. Strawberries are the tell-all signal that summer is officially upon us. We can't wait to go to our local berry farm and pick our own berries in this house! I know you can get them at the grocery store, but those really can't compare to fresh ones. They're so much sweeter and juicier, it's unbelievable. Pure perfection.

These Gluten-free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes are the perfect dessert to utilize your fresh-picked berries. The vanilla cupcake is butter based, but there is also sour cream added in to pump up the moisture. I made these in a jumbo muffin pan so they would be the perfect size to make single serve shortcakes. Just slice them in half and add the strawberry topping and whipped cream -- super easy! The cake holds up beautifully to the strawberry topping and whipped cream. I even left a fully assembled shortcake in the refrigerator overnight and it was still perfect the next day. I'm sure these strawberry shortcake cupcakes will become a summer favorite for you, just like they are at my house.

It's holiday baking time and you need to get those Christmas treats ready! So, why not have some classic gingerbread this year? Better yet, how about all of those delicious flavors packed into a cupcake? These cupcakes are made with butter, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. They're a wonderful combination of everything Christmas. We topped these spicy cupcakes with our sweet vanilla buttercream, but added just a touch of lemon flavor.

You could top these cupcakes with chopped walnuts for some crunch, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a mini gingerbread cookie just like we did. They're delicious no matter what way you choose to serve them. Treat your guests to something special this Christmas and make these gingerbread cupcakes!
