Chocolate Chip Pancake With Maple Syrup Buttercream

July 2, 2011November 7, 2023 Leave a comment

Happy weekend, JavaCupcakers! For those of you in the US, Happy 4th of July weekend! These cupcakes are a great way to start off your weekend 😉

This is another little switcheroo recipe… you’ve seen it before, with blueberries, still a fav of mine, but this time, I kicked it up a notch and added mini chocolate chips.  These were pretty awesome, I made them for a lovely little lady so I wanted them to look sweet & simple.  The cute rose liners were definitely a plus!  Happy breakfast baking …
