Indulge in these rich, moist chocolate cupcakes filled with creamy peanut butter and topped with a luscious chocolate drizzle. A perfect treat for any chocolate and peanut butter lover!
Ingredients:
For the Cupcakes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup buttermilk
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Drizzle:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fill the Cupcake Liners: Fill each cupcake liner halfway with chocolate batter. Add about a teaspoon of the peanut butter filling in the center, then top with more chocolate batter until 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean (the center may still be gooey). Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cupcakes.
Serve and Enjoy: Let the drizzle set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the gooey chocolate and peanut butter goodness!
