maple walnut pancake cupcakes

Yes, pancake!!

I've been trying to test out a new recipe every week... (ideas are appreciated!!!)

This time I made Martha Stewart's Maple Walnut cupcakes with Maple Buttercream and Candied Walnuts.

The recipe was easy to follow and they came out delicious!

You may be wondering where the "pancake" comes in...

Martha's maple buttercream recipe calls for pure maple syrup. I am cheap and used what I had on hand: generic store brand maple syrup. I think that because of this, and the high content of butter in the frosting, it made the whole cupcake taste like pancakes!

I wasn't anticipating this but it really tasted yummy!

So if you like pancakes... try these!!
