Peanut Butter Lover Cupcake Recipe

I’ve decided I’m going to do the sweet side of the cupcakes for this food challenge. Tonight it’s all about peanut butter. Trust me this recipe sin’t for the faint of heart, if you’re just ok with peanut butter it might be too much – but if you’re a true peanut butter lover this will be perfect for you!

peanutbutter cupcakeIngredients:

  • 1/4 Tapioca Starch*
  • 3/4 cup White Rice flour*
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 3/4 stick butter room temperature
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 12 Chocolate kisses, unwrapped (optional)

*Substitute 1 cup all purpose flour if you’re not making this gluten free!

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, prepare 12 cupcake tins.
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl.
  3. Mix butter, peanut butter, brown sugar until blended. Add vanilla and egg. Add milk and flour mixture alternating between wet and dry. Pour into prepared cupcake pans.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes and pull out the cupcake pan. Insert 1 chocolate kiss in the center of each cupcake. I use the back of a spoon handle to push the kiss deep into the cupcake.
  5. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Test to the side of where you inserted the kiss to test for doneness.

Frosting Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
6 T milk

Directions:

  1. Mix the peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
  2. Add in your confectioners sugar 1/2 cup at a time. It will go begin to look like a sandy mix.
  3. Add in the milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
