Cupcakes are always a crowd-pleaser. From rich chocolate with gooey centres to light vanilla topped with rainbow sprinkles, there is a cupcake for every vibe. For those who love baking, cupcake liners are a key ingredient when it comes to making these sweet treats. But have you ever found yourself ready to bake cupcakes but missing the liners? Well, a video making the rounds on Instagram shows a hack to replace cupcake liners with bell peppers. The foodie community, however, did not seem too impressed.
The video, shared by Instagram user @itsmejuliette, begins with a woman saying, "This is your sign to start using a bell pepper instead of cupcake liners. Not only is it a healthier option, but it also cuts down on paper waste."
She deseeds a few bell peppers, hollowing them out and filling them with cupcake batter. After placing the peppers in a cupcake tray, the woman adds the cake batter inside and bakes them. Once done, she takes a bite and says, "I love biting into that soft chocolate cake and then getting the sweet crunch of the bell pepper. It's so good." The video has garnered almost 5 million views.
