Blondie Cupcakes With Raspberry Buttercream
Sweet, chewy blondies baked as cupcakes, topped with pretty pink buttercream. The perfect Thermomix cupcake recipe if there was one!
If you love blondies but want a cupcake, these Blondie Cupcakes with Raspberry Buttercream are the perfect treat. They’re soft, chewy, and buttery just like the classic bar version, but baked in cupcake form for easy serving (and cuteness overload). The pink buttercream adds a touch of whimsy, making them ideal for birthdays, baby showers, Valentine’s Day, Mother's Day or just a little afternoon indulgence. Best of all, they’re quick to whip up in the Thermomix or by hand, with no fancy ingredients needed.
We have quite a few cupcake recipes on this site, happily. Go and explore, they are all delicious!
