Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Peanut butter cups, chopped
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter, for frosting
• 1 cup Powdered sugar, for frosting
• 2 tablespoon Milk, for frosting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
8. Enjoy!
