Steps:

• VANILLA CUPCAKES:

• Let cool in fridge while making the peanut butter filling.
• PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:.
• In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, the softened butter, and the vanilla.
• Mix on medium (if you don't have a mixer, just go ahead and use a fork, not spoon!) until smooth.
• Slowly beat in the powdered sugar while mixing.
• Using a wooden spoon, scrape in any of the pwodered sugar that remained on side of bowl.
• The mix may not be fully mixed together, so stick your hands in it and knead the mix until very smooth and doughy.
• NOTE: If the mix is still a little too sticky, or isn't doughy enough to roll out, gradually add in a little bit of powdered sugar while kneading with hands.
• FROSTING FOR CUPCAKES:
• No need to tell you how to make the frosting if you did buy the kind in the plastic container! But I will tell you that if you use a wilton metal frosting spatula, it makes your frosting skills look a lot better, and it's more fun!
• HOW TO FILL THE CUPCAKES:.
• Cut the top off of the cupcake and set aside.
• Roll out about one fourth of the peanut butter mix.
• Take the top of the cupcake and place on top of any area on the rolled out peanut butter dough.
• Take a knife, and trace the amount of filling you will need to fit the top of that cupcake.
• Cut it out, and place on top of cut cupcake.
• Then place the cupcake top back on cupcake.
• Frost, if desired.

PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2-3 liners because this recipe yields 14-15 cupcakes. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Using a handheld mixer, stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, or a whisk, mix the oil, peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients, milk, and peanuts and whisk or beat together until completely combined. Avoid overmixing. Batter will be slightly thick.
• Pour/spoon the batter into the liners, filling only 2/3 full to avoid baking over the sides. Bake for 21-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops of the cupcakes spring back when gently touched. For around 35 mini cupcakes, bake for about 11-13 minutes, same oven temperature. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
• With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until combined. Add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or another 1-2 Tablespoons of cream/milk if frosting is too thick. Taste. Add extra peanut butter or a pinch of salt if desired.
• Frost cooled cupcakes. I piped a basic tall swirl using Ateco 849 piping tip. You can watch me decorate the cupcakes in the video in the blog post. Garnish with peanut butter cup, if desired.
• Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
