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. 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. 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.
