Recipe for Grasshopper Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 8 oz coconut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup coco powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon peppermint oil
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- Frosting
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 14oz condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint
- 1 tablespoon whipping cream
Cooking Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Line a cupcake pan with liners. Soft dry ingredients together, into a large bowl, set aside. In a mixing bowl beat the coconut butter until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and beat until light in color, about 5 minutes.
Add the egg, beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Alternating buttermilk and flour mixture, continue adding to butter mixture, on lowest setting of mixer, until incorporated; about 5 minutes.
Add the peppermint oil, and mix for about 1 minute. Add the crushed oreo cookies; only give a quick whirl of the mixer, to lightly crush the cookies and slightly mix.
Turn off mixer. Using a spatula, gently fold the cookies into the batter. Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full.
Bake for 25 minutes. Top will be lightly springy and when you insert a toothpick in the middle it should come out clean.
If not, bake a couple minutes and test again; until the toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven, let cool slightly. Remove cupcakes from pan and let cool on a cooling rack. Frost. Serve. Eat.
