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.
