These are my new & improved peanut butter cupcakes. Adapted from my original recipe, I use oil, brown sugar, sour cream, and extra milk to guarantee each cupcake is soft and moist. Finely chopped peanuts add flavor. They're tender, flavorful, and EASY, making this updated recipe the indisputable peanut butter cupcake champion!

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 and 1/4 cups (156g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (120ml) canola or vegetable oil*
1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter*
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/3 cup (80g) sour cream, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, at room temperature*
1/3 cup (40g) very finely crushed or chopped peanuts*
1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 and 1/2 cups (420g) confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (41g) unsweetened natural or dutch-process cocoa powder
3 Tablespoons (45ml) heavy cream or milk
1/3 (80g) cup creamy peanut butter*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
optional for garnish: mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2-3 liners because this recipe yields 14-15 cupcakes. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld mixer, stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, or a whisk, mix the oil, peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients, milk, and peanuts and whisk or beat together until completely combined. Avoid overmixing. Batter will be slightly thick.
  • Pour/spoon the batter into the liners, filling only 2/3 full to avoid baking over the sides. Bake for 21-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops of the cupcakes spring back when gently touched. For around 35 mini cupcakes, bake for about 11-13 minutes, same oven temperature. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
  • With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until combined. Add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or another 1-2 Tablespoons of cream/milk if frosting is too thick. Taste. Add extra peanut butter or a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Frost cooled cupcakes. I piped a basic tall swirl using Ateco 849 piping tip. You can watch me decorate the cupcakes in the video in the blog post. Garnish with peanut butter cup, if desired.
  • Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

SUPER EASY PEANUT BUTTER-FILLED VANILLA CUPCAKES... YUMMY!



Super Easy Peanut Butter-Filled Vanilla Cupcakes... Yummy! image

This is a wonderful recipe i came up with while having one of those "I really feel like baking something iv'e never tried before" days. (Yes, that's right! I came up with this recipe myself!). I was feeling like baking some cupcakes, and at the same time, I was staring at my "Peanut Butter dough" recipe. What that is, is a dough that consists mostly of peanut butter, of course, and obviously tastes very much like peanut butter! I really like this recipe because it is super quick and easy, and really comes in handy when you find yourself stuck in one of those situations where you have to bake something right out of the gourmet oven in less than an hour for preparation! If you are planning on making this recipe not at this very moment, these are a few things you should get ready before you start baking: Have all of your pans ready, and all of your measuring cups, and spoons ready. Main hint: BE PREPARED! :) Another thing is: make the cupcakes first, then get them out and chill them in the fridge while making the peanut butter filling

Time 37m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box of betty crocker super moist vanilla cake mix
1 1/4 water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 whole eggs
1 1/4 cups peanut butter
3/8 cup butter, softened. (3/8 cup, for those beginner bakers, is an imaginary line right in half between the 1/4 sign, and the)
1/2 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • VANILLA CUPCAKES:
  • Follow the directions on the box.
  • Let cool in fridge while making the peanut butter filling.
  • PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:.
  • In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, the softened butter, and the vanilla.
  • Mix on medium (if you don't have a mixer, just go ahead and use a fork, not spoon!) until smooth.
  • Slowly beat in the powdered sugar while mixing.
  • Using a wooden spoon, scrape in any of the pwodered sugar that remained on side of bowl.
  • The mix may not be fully mixed together, so stick your hands in it and knead the mix until very smooth and doughy.
  • NOTE: If the mix is still a little too sticky, or isn't doughy enough to roll out, gradually add in a little bit of powdered sugar while kneading with hands.
  • FROSTING FOR CUPCAKES:
  • No need to tell you how to make the frosting if you did buy the kind in the plastic container! But I will tell you that if you use a wilton metal frosting spatula, it makes your frosting skills look a lot better, and it's more fun!
  • HOW TO FILL THE CUPCAKES:.
  • Cut the top off of the cupcake and set aside.
  • Roll out about one fourth of the peanut butter mix.
  • Take the top of the cupcake and place on top of any area on the rolled out peanut butter dough.
  • Take a knife, and trace the amount of filling you will need to fit the top of that cupcake.
  • Cut it out, and place on top of cut cupcake.
  • Then place the cupcake top back on cupcake.
  • Frost, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder.
  • To make the cupcakes even more indulgent, top them with a dollop of peanut butter frosting or a drizzle of chocolate ganache.
  • If you don't have a cupcake pan, you can also bake the cupcakes in a muffin tin. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These mini peanut butter cupcakes are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
