How To Make peanut butter cup brownie cupcakes
-
1Pre-heat oven to 325 F Place liners in cupcake pan
-
2On a movable surface like a cutting board, wax paper, etc., sprinkle some flour. With a teaspoon, scoop up a heaping portion of peanut butter and roll it around in the flour. Make 12 of these. Set aside.
-
3In a mixing bowl, melt the cocoa and butter together. (This takes about a minute in my microwave)
-
4Stir in sugar, flour, salt, vanilla extract and eggs, 2 at a time into chocolate mix.
-
5Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 of the way full. As you fill each one, place a peanut butter ball in the center. DO NOT push the ball into batter. Simply place in center.
-
6Once you have done this, with the remaining batter, fill the liners the rest of the way. The peanut butter balls should be completely covered.
-
7Place in oven and bake for about 35 minutes at 325 F. Adjust time as necessary.
-
8Once done, place on cooling rack.
