I found this recipe in Country Woman magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. I plan to use Pillsbury reduced sugar brownie mix, sugar free chocolate chips, no sugar added peanut butter and Splenda sugar blend.

Slowly add in the dry ingredients on low speed until almost combined. Then take a spatula and fold everything together. Add in the chocolate chips and fold them in. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the brownie batter into each cupcake liner. Each cupcake should be about 1/2 - 2/3 full.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1-2/3 c sugar
3/4 c butter (softened)
2 Tbsp water
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1-1/3 c flour
3/4 c cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
FILLING
1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c peanut butter
2 Tbsp butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
TOPPING
1/2 c whipping cream or evaporated milk
1 c semisweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp peanut butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. BROWNIE BASE: In large bowl mix brownie base ingredients: butter, sugar, and water. Add the eggs and vanilla stirring to combine. Combine dry ingredients and stir additions into the batter until all is combined.
  • 2. Fill your cupcake pan (liners in place) with a rounded Tablespoon of the brownie batter. You want to adjust this amount leaving enough batter to bake 24 cupcakes. Bake 10 minutes.
  • 3. Remove pans from oven and place on wire racks. I use a rounded measuring Tablespoon pressing to create indents in the still warm brownies. Move onto your second batch of 12 paper lined cupcake brownies. Repeat the cooling step and create the rounded indentation in each. Work in a continued pattern and make the filling next.
  • 4. FILLING - Take a small mixing bowl and combine all of the ingredients. Mix by hand adding more powdered sugar if necessary while creating a peanut butter filling that leaves the sides of the bowl. After the brownies are cooled enough to handle take a rounded teaspoon of the filling and place on top of the brownie indentations.
  • 5. TOPPING: I use the canned evaporated milk (not condensed sweetened) placing it in a 1-quart sauce pan. Heating the pan slowly stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter until combined well. It will remain glossy and begin clotting together resembling pudding without boiling. I use a wooden spoon to stir the topping and then take a spoon full and slowly drip it on top of the peanut butter filling.
  • 6. Refrigerate these bundles of joy about 10-15 minutes and serve whenever. These never last more than 2 days in my house while many are taken home for later snacking by visiting family.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality peanut butter for the filling. This will make a big difference in the taste of the cupcakes.
  • Be sure to chill the peanut butter filling before using it. This will help it to hold its shape better.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cupcakes dry.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter filled brownie cupcakes are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make these cupcakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
