We’ve all had kitchen fails – an ingredient is missed, the cake is overbaked (or underbaked), the bundt cake sticks to the pan, you name it.
So this weekend I had a major cupcake baking fail. I had plans to have a breakfast date with a good pregnant friend of mine who is having a girl in 4 weeks so I had planned to make these cute raspberry cupcakes. Now the disaster began with the cupcakes itself – I got kind of lazy and didn’t use a mixer. Once baked, the centers kind of sunk in but I figured that wouldn’t matter since the frosting would cover it up. Then came the real #epicfail.
I was in a rush to get the cupcakes done so I only softened the butter for about 10-15 minutes. MAJOR MISTAKE! Then the recipe was poorly written, telling me to add way too much raspberry puree for just 1 1/2 sticks of butter. That being said, the buttercream was a mess – it was separating and even after whipping the crap out of it, it was the ugliest piping job ever.

I got so pissed and threw the entire thing away. Wait, I taste-tested a cupcake first, which tasted just fine, but I was pissed about the entire situation and tossed everything.
1. Don’t take shortcuts! If you’re rushed or you’re not in the mood to bake, don’t do it. Save it for another time.
As for these banana bread Kit Kat muffins, they were definitely a success. The muffins were so moist and light with just a bit of Kit Kat bars here and there (I didn’t add a whole lot since these will be my breakfast muffins and I didn’t want to be hopping all over the place with a sugar rush). But the best part about these was the Kit Kat crumb topping swirled right into the batter. It gave such a crunchy, sweet bite, and complemented beautifully with the banana base.

Then pop these babies into the oven for about 15-17 minutes. Once they’re out of the oven, go ahead and dive right in!
