Mini Crumb Cupcakes

November 30, 2015 · 4 Comments

Mini Crumb CupcakesHow was your Thanksgiving weekend? Was it spent with loved ones, are you still recovering from the overload of food. I’m sure you don’t want another recipe, but this one has nothing to do with any leftovers that may still be lingering. This is another classic recipe, the kind of classic recipe that can be quickly whipped up when holiday guests begin to visit.

It’s a classic crumb cake, done mini style. I mean seriously can you really pass up a mini cupcake. Even I, who can’t ever eat more than a bite of a cupcake or frosted cake, can enjoy this little sweet. Mini Crumb CupcakesCrumb cake is often simply dusted with confectioners’ sugar, but a cupcake without frosting, well I don’t think it would be considered a cupcake would it. Well, these crumb cupcakes get a swift swirl of my favorite cream cheese frosting, and then a sprinkling of more baked crumb topping.

Mini Crumb CupcakesMini Crumb CupcakesI made these little guys for a Thanksgiving order, and it was a big hit amongst the classic desserts. The flavor was very unexpected for guest. It’s not often you eat a crumb cupcake. Mini Crumb CupcakesI made the full recipe and got three dozen mini cupcakes and one small 8″ cake, but feel free to halve the recipe, especially the crumb topping if making cupcakes. But then again this crumb mixture can be easily be stored in the refrigerator for the next time you want to quickly whip a breakfast crumb cake. I mean with the holidays, guests are sure to be in and out of your home, so it’s great to have a classic baked good to serve them.Mini Crumb CupcakesMini Crumb Cupcakes

Mini Crumb Cupcakes 

Ingredients {Makes 4 dozen minis or 24 regular cupcakes or 13X9″ cake}

1 1/4 sticks – Unsalted Butter {room temperature}

1 cup – Granulated Sugar

2 1/2 cups – All Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon – Baking Soda

1 teaspoon  – Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon – Salt

3 large – Eggs

1 teaspoon – Pure Vanilla Extract 

1 1/4 cups – Greek Yogurt

Crumb Topping

3 cups – All Purpose Flour

1 cup – Brown Sugar {packed}

1 tablespoon – Ground Cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoon – Salt

3 1/2 sticks – Unsalted Butter {room temperature}

Cream Cheese Frosting {recipe here} 

Confectioners’ Sugar, for dusting {optional}

Recipe {Adapted from Martha’s Baking Handbook}

To make the crumb topping, whisk the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter using a pasty blender, or food processor, until large moist crumbs form. Set aside until ready to use, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. 

Preheat oven to 350* F, line two mini cupcake pans with liners and set aside. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy {about 4 minutes}, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour in two batches alternating with the greek yogurt, beating on low until just combined. 

Spoon a heaping teaspoon of batter into each liner, then smooth top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over batter. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until cupcakes are golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean {about 10 minutes}. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, then remove cupcakes from pan and cool completely on rack. 

While the cupcakes cool, spread the remaining crumb topping in a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, and slightly firm {about 5 to 7 minutes}. Allow to cool completely, then break about into small crumbs. 

Pipe cooled cupcakes with cream cheese frosting as desired, and sprinkle with baked crumb topping. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve, or up to 3 days.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
