Easter Peeps Cupcakes

Easter Peeps Cupcakes are a delightful treat that will add a festive touch to your Easter celebrations. These cupcakes are made with a fluffy vanilla cake base and topped with colorful Peeps marshmallows, making them a fun and playful dessert that everyone will love.

To make these Easter Peeps Cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cupcake liner
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3-4 Peeps marshmallows, in assorted colors

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cupcakes. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before decorating.
To decorate the cupcakes, place a Peeps marshmallow on top of each cupcake. You can use a variety of colors to create a fun and festive look. If desired, you can also add additional decorations, such as sprinkles or edible glitter.
These Easter Peeps Cupcakes are a fun and playful dessert that are sure to impress your guests. The cupcakes are light and fluffy, with a delicate vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet and colorful Peeps marshmallows. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your preferences, making them a great addition to any Easter celebration.
