    For many, a bowl of cornflakes with milk is the perfect start in the morning. I was never really a fan of that. I prefer a bowl of Overnight Oats, to be honest – not only since I have to keep an eye on my sugar consumption… Cornflakes tend to be very sugary. You better not read the ingredients list on the package of your favorite cornflakes ;P Well… let’s forget about that today. Today I got some Cinnamon Crunch Cupcakes with some (but not too much) crunchy cinnamon cereals. Every once in a while it’s ok to eat stuff like that ;P

    Don’t get me wrong – there are, of course, also healthy-ish cornflakes out there for breakfast. You just have to find them in a supermarket. Most of the stuff you get there is the opposite of healthy. I guess most people are fine to start their day with a good sugar rush ;P Making your own cornflakes is not really an option but preparing a homemade sugar-free or at least sugar-reduced granola is actually not that difficult…

    Anyway. Breakfast is not the topic today – today is all about these delicious cupcakes. Although, of course, you could eat these cupcakes early in the morning if you want to ;) I think these Cinnamon Crunch Cupcakes are definitely better for a nice afternoon coffee date with friends where you can share them. Little fluffy cakes with cinnamon filling and on top even more cinnamon in the buttercream with crumbled cinnamon breakfast cereal. Loads of cinnamon everywhere. Almost a cinnamon challenge. Well, not really ;P

    In case you like/love cinnamon, which I assume since you ended up here on this page, I might have several recipes more you might like. There is cinnamon all over the place. Take a look for yourself… Our Overnight Cinnamon Rolls are to die for. Not literally, but they are really good and very convenient when you don’t have the time to do everything the same day ;P

    Also really nice and less time-consuming to do – our Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Cake is the perfect cake for an afternoon with friends and coffee. Everybody loves the flavors. One of your favorite bundt cakes to bake. ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners and set aside. Melt the butter and let cool slightly.

    2. Add sugar (or xylitol), melted butter, and oil to a large bowl and mix on high speed for several minutes until light and fluffy. Add the eggs separately and mix well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Mix the flour with baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, then add to the bowl in two batches alternating with the milk – mix until just combined. Add the crushed cinnamon cornflakes and fold in (optional). Divide the batter evenly between the paper liners and bake for about 20-23 minutes. Check with a cake tester if the cupcakes are done. Take the cupcakes out of the oven, remove them immediately from the muffin tin and let them cool down completely on a wire rack.

    3. For the buttercream add the egg whites and sugar (or xylitol) to a heatproof bowl and place over a pot with simmering water – the bowl should not touch the water! Heat the mixture to a temperature of about 160°F (71°C), stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. As soon as the mixture has reached the necessary temperature, remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to the bowl of a food processor (or use a handheld mixer) – mix at high speed until you get a white and very thick meringue. The bowl should only be lukewarm to the touch – it takes about 8-10 minutes. Gradually add the soft butter in small pieces and mix well after each addition. When all of the butter is used, add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt and mix another 3-4 minutes until the buttercream is very light and fluffy. Add the crushed cinnamon cornflakes and mix well (optional). Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag with a round tip and set aside.

    4. For the filling mix the cream with the sugar, almonds, and cinnamon in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for a few seconds until the mixture starts to bubble. Let cool down again. Use a cupcake corer* or knife, cut a well into the cupcakes, and add a small amount of the cinnamon mixture. Decorate the cupcakes with buttercream and sprinkle with crumbled cinnamon cornflakes if you like.

    1. Den Backofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Muffinblech mit 12 Papierförmchen bestücken und zur Seite stellen. Die Butter schmelzen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

    2. Den Zucker mit der geschmolzenen Butter und dem Öl in eine große Schüssel geben und für einige Minuten aufschlagen, bis die Masse hell und luftig ist. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und unterrühren. Das Mehl mit Backpulver, Zimt und Salz vermischen und dann abwechselnd mit der Milch in zwei Portionen zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die zerbröselten Zimt-Frühstücksflocken dazugeben und unterheben (optional). Den Teig gleichmäßig auf die Papierförmchen verteilen und für etwa 20-23 Minuten backen. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und die Cupcakes erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Die Cupcakes aus dem Ofen holen, sofort aus der Backform lösen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Für die Buttercreme das Eiweiß mit dem Zucker in eine hitzebeständige Schüssel geben und auf einen Topf mit köchelndem Wasser stellen – die Schüssel sollte das Wasser nicht berühren. Die Mischung unter ständigem Rühren auf 71°C (160°F) erwärmen, bis sich der Zucker komplett aufgelöst hat. Wenn das Eiweiß die Temperatur erreicht hat, die Schüssel vom Topf nehmen und mit der Küchenmaschine oder mit einem Handmixer auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis die Masse weiß und fest ist – die Schüssel sollte maximal nur noch handwarm sein – dauert etwa 8-10 Minuten. Die weiche Butter in kleinen Stücken nach und nach dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Wenn die komplette Butter in der Schüssel ist, Vanille Extrakt, Zimt und Salz dazugeben und für weitere 3-4 Minuten aufschlagen, bis die Buttercreme luftig und cremig ist. Die zerbröselten Zimt-Frühstücksflocken dazugeben und gut unterrühren (optional). Die Buttercreme in einen Spritzbeutel mit runder Tülle füllen und zur Seite legen.

    4. Für die Füllung Sahne mit Zucker, Mandeln und Zimt in einer kleinen Schüssel verrühren und in der Mikrowelle für einige Sekunden erhitzen, bis die Mischung anfängt zu blubbern. Abkühlen lassen. Mit einem Cupcake Corer* oder Messer eine Vertiefung in die Cupcakes schneiden und etwas Zimtmischung einfüllen. Die Cupcakes mit der Buttercreme dekorieren und dann nach Belieben noch mit zerbröselten Zimt-Frühstücksflocken bestreuen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
