Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in half of the toffee bits (and chocolate chips if using).
  7. Divide batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling about 2/3 full.
  8. Sprinkle remaining toffee bits on top of each cupcake for added crunch.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra indulgent touch, top the cooled cupcakes with a caramel glaze or whipped cream before serving.
