1

Crunchify the Cereal

Begin by taking a cup of Cap'n Crunch cereal and crushing it up into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or a resealable bag and a rolling pin. Just don't get too carried away and turn it into cereal dust!

2

Whip Up the Batter

In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Once it's nice and fluffy, add in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is well combined and your arm is looking strong and muscular.

Add Some Crunch

Now it's time to give your cupcakes that Cap'n Crunch magic! Slowly mix in 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of milk. Once it's all incorporated, fold in those precious cereal crumbs you created in step 1.

Bake 'Em Up

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners. Fill each liner about two-thirds full with your Cap'n Crunch batter. Pop them in the oven and let them bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy the tantalizing smell wafting through your kitchen.

5

Frost with Love

Once your cupcakes have cooled completely, it's time to frost those babies up! Whether you prefer a classic buttercream or a cream cheese frosting, slather it on generously and don't be shy. Top each cupcake with a sprinkle of additional crushed Cap'n Crunch for that extra wow factor.
