These tender cupcakes are made with peanut butter in the batter and are topped with creamy peanut butter frosting. They have a double dose of peanut butter for the perfect peanut butter cupcake recipe.

When it comes to peanut butter and baking – I think most people typically think about peanut butter cookies. But since I don’t like to be confined to the classics, I wanted to find the perfect recipe for peanut butter cupcakes. These nuggets of deliciousness are moist and tender with a delicious peanut butter flavor, without being too sweet. The peanut butter frosting is extra creamy, super fluffy and makes for the perfect salty-sweet peanut butter combo. I don’t think you can go wrong with a double dose of peanut butter – and these definitely don’t disappoint.

Now, it turns out creating the perfect peanut butter cupcake was a tall order. I tried so many recipes and variations – and the truth is, so many of my recipe tests resulted in dry or bland cupcakes, and so many sunk in the middle. Cupcakes should be tender and moist. But because peanut butter is heavy and soaks up moisture, getting that perfect texture can be tricky.

But after some delicious & not so delicious batches of peanut butter cupcakes – I got the perfect results. So here’s what’s important:

You’ll notice that the top of each cupcake is a little crinkly, but that’s totally ok. The middle is moist, tender and most importantly – filled with big peanut butter flavor.

I wanted a double dose of peanut butter for these cupcakes, so they’re topped with my favorite peanut butter frosting. It’s creamy, fluffy and not overly sweet. As pictured – I like a lot of frosting on my cupcakes. But if you only want a thin layer, you could half the frosting recipe (I’ve included the details in the recipe card below). If you’d prefer – you could also top them with chocolate frosting.

I was told that these cupcakes “smack you in the face with peanut butter” – which is exactly how a peanut butter treat should be in my humble opinion.

And if you’re still looking for more peanut butter treats – then may I suggest these chewy peanut butter blondies or a slice of this no-bake peanut butter pie!

In this FREE email series, I'll send you 5 classic cookie recipes along with ALL my tips & tricks.I am completely obsessed with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, especially the mini ones. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is so addictive for me. These Reese's Peanut Butter Cupcakes are inspired by my love for them. The sponge is flavoured with peanut butter and has Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups inside. The buttercream is made with peanut butter and cocoa powder, and then there is a drizzle of peanut butter and half a peanut butter cup on top. These Reese's Peanut Butter Cupcakes are the ultimate combination of chocolate and peanut butter!

To make the sponge mix together the butter, peanut butter and caster sugar. Thenadd eggs and milk, and whisk them in. Finally mix in the self raising flour.

Peanut Butter Cup Cake

Divide the mixture between a lined cupcake tin. Into each cupcake place three mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that have been in the freezer, push them into the batter. Bake them and leave to cool fully.

Make the buttercream by mixing butter and peanut butter together. Then add icing sugar, cocoa powder and milk together until smooth. Put the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a nozzle, and pipe it onto the cupcakes. Then add a drizzle of peanut butter, and half of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

The cupcakes will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in a cool place. You can freeze both the cupcakes and the buttercream. To freeze them separately, wrap the cupcakes well in cling film or put them in an airtight container. The buttercream can be frozen in a sealed tub. To freeze them decorated, freeze the cupcakes on a plate until frozen solid, then carefully wrap in cling film. Remove the clingfilm when you take the cupcakes out of the freezer to defrost, as if they defrost with it still on it could damage the buttercream.

Self raising flour, which is very commonly used in the UK where I am based, already contains a raising agent and a little salt too. Therefore if you want to swap it for plain or all purpose flour, you will need to add some additional baking powder and also a little salt if you like. Some people like to add salt to cake recipes and some don't, so I'll leave that up to you as it won't affect the bake. The general advice is to add 2 teaspoons baking powder (a measuring teaspoon, not the kind you stir your coffee with) per every 200g plain or all purpose flour. So for this recipe you'd need to add 1 + ¾ teaspoons baking powder. Please note, I have not tested this recipe using plain or all purpose flour.

Yes! For gluten free you can replace the self raising flour with a gluten free self raising flour blend. If you only have a gluten free plain flour blend, you will need to add baking powder. The general advice is to add 2 tsp baking powder per 200g flour, so for this recipe you'd need to add 1 + ¾ teaspoons baking powder. You may also like to add ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum for better texture. Please do check the labels of everything you use for this recipe if serving to someone with an allergy or intolerance.

For a dairy free version, use a dairy free baking spread and dairy free milk for the cupcakes and buttercream. You will also need to use a dairy free alternative to Reese's peanut butter cups. Or you can simply leave them out of the sponge and decorate the top with some chopped peanuts. Please do check the labels of everything you use for this recipe if serving to someone with an allergy or intolerance.

While you can absolutely make this recipe with a wooden spoon and some elbow grease, I do recommend using an electric mixer for the best results. The cupcakes will be lighter and fluffier when made with an electric mixer. The buttercream will also be smoother. You don't have to use an expensive stand mixer either, you can get electric hand whisks for as little as £10!

If you can't get hold of the Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, you can chop up regular sized peanut butter cups into 4 pieces, freeze for at least an hour, then push 3 pieces into each cupcake.

I originally planned to stuff these cupcakes with a peanut butter cup in the middle. But, since the cupcake batter is so thin they sunk straight to the bottom and stuck to the liners. It was not pretty. So I decided to just top them with the peanut butter cups and I think they actually look better that way.
