Ingredients and directions don’t match up. No buttermilk listed in the ingredients and no oil listed in the instructions. Vanilla paste listed in the instructions but vanilla extract in the ingredients. The video shows chocolate chips folded into the cupcake batter but this is not listed in the instructions. There are also no instructions for the icing and marshmallow fluff is not listed as an ingredient. These cupcakes look AMAZING!!! But the instructions/ingredients list is very confusing.
Hi Kaitlin — I apologize for all the confusion. I will try to have the instructions/ingredients consistent by tomorrow. I apologize, again. Best, John.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I can’t wait to try these!!!
How many servings does this make?
Hi Kara — It makes 12 cupcakes. I have updated the recipe. Thanks so much, John.

You can substitute it with milk, water or any liquid! Hope you enjoy!
