One Batter Cupcakes, 3 Flavours!

One Batter Cupcakes, 3 Flavours!

Everyone loves cupcakes right?! And I’m pretty sure everyone loves it when it looks like you’ve done way more work than you actually have! That’s why I love this simple one batter cupcake recipe. You can split it 3 ways and achieve 3 totally different flavours, making you look like a star!! The recipe makes lots and lots of cupcakes too, making this the perfect party pleaser treat!

With all the summer and cottage festivities right around the corner, I promise this is a recipe you will want to keep on hand. Cupcakes are an easy dessert and when you give your guests more options of flavours you’re sure to cover everyone’s tastes and all you had to do was one recipe!

I love mini cupcakes because everyone can test a few different flavours instead of having just one big cupcake. You get equal icing to cake and let’s face it, the icing is the best part! So you are getting more bang for your buck in a mini (that’s if you ask me).

One Batter Cupcakes, 3 Flavours Tips

The only real trick that you need to keep in mind when making the 3 flavours out of one batter is to make sure you don’t overmix your batter. The more you mix the batter the denser it will become, so keep that in mind when you’re splitting up your batter and working in your favourite flavours.

For the 3 flavours I chose to do white chocolate raspberry, chocolate marble, and lemon. I’ve got the chocolate part covered, the sweet fruit, and the tangy tartness all done with one batter! You don’t have to use the exact same flavours that I did. You can use your favourite cupcake recipe as a guideline and add your own flavours to the batter, although I think you’d be more than happy with the flavours I’ve chosen. My favourite is the marble cupcakes, aren’t they so cute?!
