Maple Pecan Pancake Cupcakes(FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

Good day, my friends!

I'm getting so excited about my upcoming travels. It's going to be so much fun!

Okay, about these cupcakes. These are a pancake lover’s dream dessert. No, seriously, these are like eating a pecan pancake in a muffin shape with frosting on it.

If you have ever read many of my posts, then you may know that my family and I lived in Chile and while we were there, we desperately missed maple because it was unavailable. I’m not talking about Mrs. Butterworth’s or any other brand that is basically maple flavored corn syrup. You can sometimes find that in the bigger stores where it is imported from the U.S. I am talking about the real stuff. Pure maple syrup straight out of the tree. We really miss it and that is what inspired this recipe.

Once and a while, I could find pure maple extract at the local health food store and it was great for adding that extra punch of maple flavor to this recipe. What is it about maple that makes you feel so warm and fuzzy when you smell it? I don’t know but it is awesome.

Pecans are also unavailable down in Chile so they fit perfectly with the maple syrup into this recipe. They are optional but I recommend them. My family is full of nut haters so I had to do make most of them without. What a shame, I know. They have no idea what they are missing!

I HOPE YOU GIVE THESE A TRY!!

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
