Easy cupcake recipe for lunch boxes

I recently made cupcakes with Mr 14, Mr 7 and Miss 5. It is so easy to make that I want you to know about it too.

I use this recipe for birthday celebrations and when baking bulk batch's of flavours for our lunches. What I love about this recipe is that you can easily turn it into any flavour you like.

For the basic batter mixture.

You will need:

A bowl
Measuring cups
Spoon
12 hole muffin tin
12 x patty cases

The ingredients:

1 1/2 - 2 cups S/R Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk

To give you some ideas I want to share a list of our favourite flavours.

• Apple ( I just grate a few apples for this one)
• Peanut butter & chocolate chip
• Double chocolate ( 1/2 cup cocoa and chocolate chips.)
• Banana & chocolate chips

Instructions

1.) First, set your oven to bake at 180 degrees (or 150 degrees if using a fan bake oven.) and line your muffin tin with patty cases.

2.) Then, add all your dry ingredients into the bowl (If you want to add cocoa, add this now). Mix it all together and make a well in the centre.

3.) Then, add the eggs, oil and milk and mix it up into a batter.

4.) Then, you can add your chosen flavouring, mix it well into your batter.
Note: If you are adding peanut butter, I find it is yummier when it is still distinguishable, so I mix it last and just enough that it will be in every scoop ☺

5.) Finally, using a 1/3 measuring cup, pour the batter into your lined muffin tin and bake for 25 minutes or until golden.

This recipe makes 12 delicious cupcakes.

If you would like to ice your cupcakes, here is a link to a quick icing recipe I use from Kidspot.

I hope you enjoy this easy recipe and have as much fun as we do playing around with different flavours too. I want to ask you a question. What is your favourite recipe to make? Let us all know in the comments and we can all get hungry, no.  Inspired together. 😆
