S'mores Cupcakes Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cupcake pans with paper liners. In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, stirring until everything is evenly moistened.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of this mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner, pressing down firmly to pack the crumbs. (A small, flat-bottomed object, like a vitamin bottle wrapped in plastic wrap, can help with this.)

Remove the pans from the oven, but keep the oven temperature at 350 degrees F.

For the cake batter, sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Mix the dry ingredients on low speed just until they're combined. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

With the mixer still on low speed, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry. Mix for 30 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to medium and beat for another 2 minutes.
