Moist and fluffy vanilla cupcakes filled with chocolate m&m candy mixed in the batter. These easy cupcakes are sweet and delicious topped off with a creamy and sweet classic buttercream frosting. The fluffy vanilla cupcakes combined with chocolate m&ms in every bite make these cupcakes a tasty dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
The vanilla cupcake batter is so quick and easy to make, no mixer is needed just a bowl and a whisk. Whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth and combined. Divide the cupcake batter between 12 lined cupcake tins and bake until the center of the cupcakes comes out clean with a toothpick. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before frosting. To make the classic buttercream frosting, beat all of the ingredients together with a mixer until smooth and creamy. Either pipe or spread frosting onto each cupcake. Decorate with m&ms.
