Brownie Cupcakes with Mint Buttercream
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and stir until well combined.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the mint buttercream. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mint extract, and green food coloring, beating until light and fluffy. Add the heavy cream and continue to beat until the buttercream is smooth.
-
Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, frost them with the mint buttercream. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
-
Allow the cupcakes to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
