Ingredients

  • Cupcake:
  • 1 ⅔ cups of versatile all-purpose flour for a perfect texture
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder to help it rise
  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda to add a touch of fluffiness
  • ½ teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavors
  • ¾ cup of firmly packed light brown sugar for a hint of sweetness
  • 5 tablespoons of creamy natural peanut butter for a nutty twist
  • 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter for a rich taste
  • ¾ cup of mashed ripe bananas for a moist crumb
  • 2 large eggs for binding everything together
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of aromatic vanilla extract for a delightful aroma
  • ½ cup of milk for a smooth batter
  • Frosting:
  • ¾ cup of marshmallow fluff for a fluffy and light finish
  • 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter to add a buttery richness
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening for a creamy texture
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness
  • 1 ½ cups of confectioners' sugar, or as needed, for the perfect sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons of milk to adjust the consistency

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and preparing 12 muffin cups with paper liners, ensuring a perfect baking environment.

Step 2

In a bowl, delicately sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt, setting the stage for a harmonious blend of flavors.

Step 3

Create a creamy base by combining brown sugar, luscious peanut butter, and a touch of butter in a bowl using an electric mixer - a dance of textures and tastes that lasts about a minute. Incorporate the essence of ripe banana, eggs, and a hint of vanilla extract into this mixture, allowing them to mingle for another minute in sweet harmony.

Step 4

Alternate between adding the flour mixture and a splash of milk to the creamy peanut butter blend, creating a batter that whispers promises of delight. Gently pour this enchanting mixture into the waiting muffin cups, ready to transform in the oven.

Step 5

Let the magic happen in the preheated oven, as the cupcakes bake to perfection in 20 to 23 minutes, yielding a moist crumb when tested with a toothpick. Allow them to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, before gracefully transferring them to a wire rack for a complete cool-down.

Step 6

Prepare a delectable frosting by blending marshmallow fluff, a touch of butter, shortening, and a dash of vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric mixer until a smooth, silky texture emerges. Slowly incorporate confectioners' sugar and a drizzle of milk into this velvety mixture, adjusting until the desired consistency is achieved. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to thicken and mature.

Step 7

Finish this culinary masterpiece by generously spreading the frosting over the cupcakes or elegantly piping it through a pastry bag, creating a visual and flavorful finale to your baking journey.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your peanut butter and marshmallow cupcakes fluffy and fresh by storing them in an airtight container. This will help maintain their moisture and prevent them from drying out.
  2. 2. If you're short on airtight containers, try using a resealable plastic bag instead. Just make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing it shut.
