Ultimate Peanut Butter Cupcakes Recipe - Sweet and Irresistible
  • Prep Time

  • Cook Time
    15 mins
  • Total Time
    35 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups of delicate cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup of rich dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup of smooth peanut butter, brought to room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons of applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon of aromatic vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of creamy buttermilk

Step 1

To kickstart the baking process, preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and get ready to create some delicious treats. Prepare twenty-four 2 1/2-inch muffin cups by lining them with charming paper liners.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to create a harmonious blend of dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a larger bowl, let your creativity flow as you combine brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, luscious applesauce, a hint of oil, and a splash of vanilla extract. Crack in the eggs, one by one, and whisk gently after each addition until everything harmonizes beautifully. Gradually add the flour mixture and velvety buttermilk in alternating turns on low speed until just combined. Carefully spoon this delightful batter into the waiting muffin cups, filling each one up to about two-thirds full.

Step 4

Pop these little delights into the preheated oven and let them bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, usually around 14 to 16 minutes. Once they're baked to perfection, allow them to cool in the tins for a brief 5-minute rest. Then, with a gentle touch, use a knife to release the edges, lovingly remove the cupcakes, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delectable creations with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!
