Food that warms the soul: Pineapple cupcakes!
It is fall! The weather is beautiful, what more should you do than cook tasty food that is not too bad for your health ! This month I will be giving out tips on crock pot recipes as well as desserts! Today, I will be discussing the beloved world of cupcakes!
Cupcakes are quick, cute and tasty! They are definitely a crowd pleaser,if you do it right! It is all about presentation and taste! Before anyone can taste your creation you have to make it appealing! You can make a dozen cup cakes easy in less than 30 minutes!
My Pineapple cupcakes only take 21 minutes to cook on 350( pre-heated) in the oven! Everything else that you need is as followed:
1. Cupcake cups! They are $1.50 at the market or cheaper for a box of 48!
2. Frosting ( my new found friend is the pillsbury spray forsting)! It is less mess. It is less time. It looks beautiful!
3. Some type of fruit topping on top! I chose strawberries!
4. A box of brown sugar( 1 cup)!
5. Some flour(cup of flour)!
6. Your perference of cupcake mix( from the box or from scratch)!
7. Butter(1/4 cup)
8. Vegetable oil( 1/4 cup).
9. 2 or 3 eggs.
Once you have all this, mix your cupcake batter(eggs, cupcake mix, and vegetable oil)! Set that aside. Melt some butter in each cupcake cup! Next, sprinkle some brown sugar in each cup!
Pour mix into cupcake cups! Then heat in the oven for 21 minutes!
After being cooked, let it sit aside for 5 minutes to cool! Once cooled, put frosting on top!
And lastly, top your cupcakes with your fruit!
It is light! It is semi-healthy and it taste great! Your guest will love it!
Enjoy!
