Description

Discover the unexpected delight of Brussels Sprouts Cake Pops – a unique and surprisingly tasty treat that’s perfect for any occasion. These bite-sized delights combine the earthy flavor of brussels sprouts with a moist, cake-like texture and a fun, decorative design.


Ingredients

– 1 cup brussels sprouts, finely chopped

– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 3/4 cup granulated sugar

– 2 large eggs

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1 cup white chocolate chips

– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the finely chopped brussels sprouts.

5. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the batter into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake pops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Allow the cake pops to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

9. Dip the cooled cake pops into the melted white chocolate, gently tapping off any excess. Place the coated cake pops back on the wire rack and allow the chocolate to set.

10. Serve the Brussels Sprouts Cake Pops and enjoy their unique and delightful flavor!

Notes

For a festive touch, you can add sprinkles or other decorations to the coated cake pops. Store any leftover cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
