Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter (natural and unsweetened for best flavor)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature but not melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Cream the butter and peanut butter: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add sugars: Gradually add granulated sugar and packed brown sugar to the butter mixture and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Alternate dry and wet ingredients: Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter batter in three batches, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix each addition just until incorporated.
  • Fill cupcake liners about two-thirds full for nice domed tops.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
