Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
5 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup mashed ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup milk
¾ cup marshmallow fluff
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar, or as needed
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat brown sugar, peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat banana, eggs, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract into creamed peanut butter mixture until incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Beat flour mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, into creamed peanut butter mixture until batter is well combined; pour into muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out with moist crumbs, 20 to 23 minutes. Cool cupcakes in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Beat marshmallow fluff, 2 tablespoons butter, shortening, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat confectioners' sugar, alternating with 2 tablespoons milk, into marshmallow mixture until desired thickness is reached; chill in refrigerator until thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Spread frosting over cupcakes or pipe through a pastry bag.

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 13

18.25 oz box yellow cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting:
2 sticks salted butter, at room temperature
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
4 cups powdered sugar
7 oz jar marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 24 muffin tins with cupcake liners. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, water, peanut butter, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat on low speed for about a minute. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove cupcakes from pan and cool on cooling rack. 3. Once cupcakes are completely cool, prepare frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and milk on medium-low speed until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar, beating on low until just barely mixed in. Increase speed to medium high and beat for about 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, barely fold in marshmallow creme (you don't want it mixed completely in you want to see swirls). 4. Pipe frosting or frost with a spatula generously.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use salted peanut butter in the frosting.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
  • To make the cupcakes ahead of time, bake them and let them cool completely. Then, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Frost the cupcakes just before serving.
  • To make the frosting ahead of time, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Then, add the powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff and beat until light and fluffy. Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring the frosting to room temperature before using.
  • For a fun variation, try adding chopped peanuts or chocolate chips to the frosting.
