Ingredients

Cereal Milk:

  • 3/4 cup cold milk
  • 1/2 cup Lucky Charm cereal

Cupcakes:

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter soft
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup lemon yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cereal milk

Frosting:

  • 1 cup butter soft
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Cereal milk:

  • Combine the milk and cereal in an air tight container. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Strain. 

Cupcakes:

  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. 
  • Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla and yogurt. 
  • Stir in the flour and cereal milk, alternating between the two, until both are mixed into the batter. 
  • Divide between your prepared cupcake liners, filling 3/4 full. 
  • Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. 

Frosting:

  • Whisk together the butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer. Stir in the vanilla extract and 2-3 tablespoons of cereal milk until your desired consistency is reached. Spread onto your cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with marshmallows.
