Hey all! I’m Kenzie Sweeney, Jenni’s guest blogger this weekend. When Jenni asked if wanted to post on her blog, I had the reaction of an overly hyper 8 year old at Christmas time—so.excited. So I want to thank her for is wonderful opportunity!
A bit about me, I started out as a vocal performance major but am studying Marketing at the University of Evansville. I have this semi-obsessive love of jazz music and baking. Especially cupcakes. So I listen to Frank, Ella, and Mr. Nat King Cole while I bake. I am also a health nut so I made this recipe with Truvia instead of sugar (about 1/3 of the calories and absolutely delicious).
NOW to the reason you’re here: cupcakes.
I personally like putting the frosting on ‘em while they are just a tad warm so it melts into it. It’s like eating a blueberry pancake with maple syrup on top :)

| Cupcakes ~Preheat oven to 350° & bake for 20 min 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp Truvia (or ¾ cups sugar) ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp baking soda 1 ½ tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt ¾ cup buttermilk 1 egg ½ stick unsalted butter, melted ¼ cup milk 1 tsp vanilla 1 ¼ cup blueberries | Frosting ½ stick unsalted butter, room temperature 1 ½ cups confectioner’s (powdered) sugar 1 ½ Tbsp pure maple syrup Pinch of salt Splash of milk Splash of vanilla Cream the butter & sugar together. Add the rest of the ingredients. Beat until light & fluffy! (Best to make while cupcakes are in the oven) |
Substitution for Buttermilk: 1 Tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice & fill milk up to 1 cup. For this recipe I used 2 ¼ tsp white vinegar and filled the milk up to ¾ cup & let sit for 5 min
Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, light beat butter & egg
Add in the buttermilk & milk
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients
Make sure to mix well!
>Add an extra splash of milk if the batter is too thick<
Toss the blueberries in 2 Tbsp flour & fold into batter

Deliciousness in a bite. (hopefully!)
I hope you all enjoy my little creation. I have changed the recipe enough & this version is my favorite. It's one I'd like to make when I open up my own bakery. Keep an eye out for Swenzie's Sweets :) Let me know what you think!
