Photo: Bacony Breakfast Cupcake Recipe
Ingredients
- Canola oil spray
- 6 thick-cut slices good quality bacon
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 4 cups prepared pancake batter
- 8 ounces mascarpone
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare a cupcake pan with canola oil spray.
Prepare a broiler pan and place the bacon on the pan. Cook until well crisped, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Mix the chives into the pancake batter and pour into the cupcake tins so that they are 3/4 full. Bake for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and the reserved bacon drippings. Stir well to combine and set aside. Crumble the cooked bacon and set aside.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack, about 10 minutes. Frost each cupcake with the bacon icing and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon.

Huge hit at a family gathering and great recipe. I think next time I will omit the powdered sugar from the icing as it's really not needed. When I blended the Marscapone cheese (must have and added 3 tablespoons or so of 100% Maple Syrup, nothing else was needed. I didn't add bacon drippings to the icing. Next time I would add the bacon to the batter as when it's in the icing it makes a mess trying to frost the cupcake and keep everything on top.

These are sooooo amazing....if you can find marscapone cheese, DO NOT replace it with cream cheese!!!! Please!! Its the yummy white goodness in tiramisu, so heavenly..its vital. the only thing I change is to add crumbled bacon to the pancake mix along with the chives. Heaven. Although, i am considering adding pistachio pudding mix to the batter next time. TRY THESE!!! They are a huge hit at parties!!
