Pan-cupcakes

Another Pintrest idea was attempted last night.  I decided that I was in serious need of some pancake lovin' and whipped up 12 pancake muffins.  These are some fantastically fun treats and are super easy to create.  It get's you that pancake flavor you desire without any flipping or in my case, flopping.  Relatively mess less and a huge plus, has very few dishes involved for cleaning later. A whole lot of pluses in my mind. The idea have been trending on Pintrest for a few days and simple enough in action.

Step 1: Get pancake mix.

Step 2: Find any other ingriedents if necessary.

Step 3: Mix

Step 4: Pour into cupcake pan.

Step 5: Bake.

Step 6a: Cool

Step 6b: Eat

And I found that I actually really enjoyed these babies.  I filled each cupcake indent of my silicone tray about half full and watched them rise slightly as them baked.  Mine could have used more time in the oven, as they were pretty albino in color, but they taste nice all the same.

I worked off this really simple idea as discussed here, at Gwaltney Foods, and expanded to fit my tastebuds at that moment.

The difference for me is that I went with Chocolate Chip Coconut Pan-Cupcakes and poured the batter into regular sized cupcake pans (as I do not own any mini cupcake pans).

It the batter went a sprinkling of sweetened coconut.  Poured into the cupcake pan when the batter,  was ready.  Now just imagine someone wildly chucking individual  chocolate chips into each cupcake compartment in the misguided hope that this would help evenly disburse chocolaty goodness throughout the pan-cupcakes. On top of that, floating on the lagoon of goo I sprinkled a few more chips and then loaded up on the coconut shavings.  I do love coconut.

While the pan-cupcakes were baking I created yet another tasty dessert, deconstructed almond joys (I guess they would technically be mounds, but almod joys would be easy enough to follow), which I may discuss at another time.
