Happy Wednesday everybody!! Jeez, can y’all believe it’s September again! now? For reals, what happened to the year? I swear it feels like it was just the new year and I was all ‘whoa, another year has gone by, what the heck?’ and now here we are on the brink of Fall again (woohoo! best time of the year).
Anyways, onto something more fun than the too quick passage of time, like cupcakes. I don’t know about y’all but I love blueberry muffins hello wonderful carbs and I’ve always wanted to make some cupcakes reminiscent of blueberry muffins, because frosting, but per usual was having a bit of a problem finding some I liked.
Soo, what’s a girl to do?…throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl and hope for the best of course..haha just kidding but I did make this recipe up on a whim. I have to say that these are hands down the moistest cupcakes I’ve ever made, and some of my most favorite. Also, these are easy peasy to make.
You will see that I added cheesecake pudding mix to my cupcakes in hopes that it would give it a distinct cheesecake flavor. The pudding mix definitely added a little bit of cheesecake tartness to them, but more than anything it added moisture.
Soo you’re welcome to use vanilla pudding mix instead. Oh also, cream cheese frosting on these babies, because cream cheese frosting is always a good idea. Hope these cupcakes can help with your hump day! Enjoy!
