How to Make Blueberry Muffin Cake Pops

Cake pops have taken the dessert world by storm, and it’s no wonder since they’re delicious, adorable, and easy to make. In this article, we will teach you how to create a delectable twist on the classic cake pop – blueberry muffin cake pops! These little bites of heaven are the perfect combination of a tasty blueberry muffin and a chocolate-covered cake pop. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 3 tsp baking power
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup milk
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
– 12 oz candy melts or chocolate chips (for coating)
– Lollipop sticks
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard-sized muffin tin.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir this wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined – be careful not to overmix.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula.
5. Fill each muffin tin about two-thirds full with batter and bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack. After they are fully cooled down – this is crucial for avoiding soggy cake pops – crumble them into a large mixing bowl.
7. Melt candy melts or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in intervals of 30 seconds, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
8. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake pop and dip the end of the stick into the melted chocolate. Then, insert the stick back into the cake pop. This will help hold it together when you dip it into the chocolate.
9. Fully coat each cake pop in melted chocolate by gently dipping and swirling them around. Hold them upright for a few seconds, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
10. Place your coated cake pops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or stand them upright using a cake pop stand or styrofoam block. Allow them to dry completely, which can take about 20 to 25 minutes.
11. Once the blueberry muffin cake pops are completely dry and set, you can enjoy your delicious treat! Feel free to add any edible decorations or drizzle more chocolate on top for extra flair.
These blueberry muffin cake pops are perfect for parties or just to enjoy as a sweet snack at home. They’re easy to make and are sure to be a hit among friends and family who try them. Happy baking!
