This batter is exceptionally light and fluffy and the frosting, while wildly blue because blue is a favorite color around these parts is perfectly fluffy!

Ingredients

  • 3 1/3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter , melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large 12 ounce bag of Peanut M&Ms
  • 1 cup unsalted butter , softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar , sifted
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • food coloring , or as needed
  • 1 small bag of M&Ms for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  2. Line muffin tin with 24 cupcake liners. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the melted butter in a bowl and whisk in sugar - mixture will be gritty.
  5. Add the eggs, sour cream, milk and vanilla.
  6. Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain.
  7. Your batter will be thicker than normal.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  9. Set 24 cupcake liner into two muffin tins.
  10. Add half the normal amount of batter to your pan.
  11. Add 6 or so Peanut M&Ms of a single color into each cupcake.
  12. Try and mix it up, using different colors (except brown which didn't make it into the game).
  13. Add in the second half of the batter and make sure the M&Ms are covered. If they are not down far enough they will rise out of the top of the cupcake making it impossible to hide what is inide them.
  14. Bake for 18-20 minutes

  1. YUM! Vanilla cupcakes are my favorite and these look delicious. I love the colorful frosting and m&m’s.

  2. This is so stinking cute I can barely stand it. What a fun idea. This is perfect for game day, or theme parties. Love this post, it’s so creative. Plus M&M’s just rule the world.

  3. OH yum! Now this is my kind of cupcake. However, I’d probably eat way to many of them but they sure look delicious.
