The Best cupcake in a ice cream cone recipe

I love making cupcakes in ice cream cones because it combines two of my favorite desserts into one fun treat. My kids go crazy for these and they are perfect for birthday parties or school events. The best part is that you get a cupcake with a built in handle so no messy fingers and you can even use whole wheat flour or add fruit to make them a bit healthier. This recipe is a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen and they always eat every last bite.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Cupcake in a Ice Cream Cone

Yes you need flat bottom cones so they stand up in the muffin tin. Regular pointed cones will not work.

Make sure not to overfill the cones and bake them right away. The batter will cook and form a barrier that keeps the cone crisp.
