Ingredients
Cupcake Batter
- 3 Cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1 1/2 Cup Ice-cold water
- 1 Cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 Tbsp. White Vinegar
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 Cup Pig Out Bacony Bits
Frosting
- 3/4 Cup Vegan Margarine
- 2 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 tsp. Maple extract
- Pinch of Salt
- Optional: Maple Syrup & More Bacony Bits for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and get two cupcake sheets (2 dozen cupcakes) ready with liners. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. In a smaller bowl, stir together the water, applesauce, white vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir together until combined. Fold the bacony bits into the batter. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full, place in the oven and bake for 19-22 minutes or until a toothpick draws clean.
- After the cupcakes are done baking, place them in the refrigerator to cool and move on to making the frosting.
- Whip the vegan margarine with a mixer on high-speed, and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Add in the maple extract and salt and continue to whip the frosting.
- Add more powdered sugar if you’d like a stiffer frosting, and use 1.5-2 tbsp. of it per cupcake. Then drizzle a 1/8 tsp. Maple syrup and sprinkle a few bacony bits on top.
