Serving : 24 cupcakes

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups King Arthur all purpose flour

3 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cups firmly packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1/3 cup peanut butter

1 cup milk

24 mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)

1/3 cup unsalted butter at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Onto a piece of wax paper, sift the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In large bowl, combine all ingredients (except peanut butter cups)–
• Using a wooden spoon beat in the flour mixture 1/3 at a time, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour.

• Spoon the batter into the cups – fill paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full.
• Press a peanut butter cup into batter.
• Bake at 350 °F for 20 minutes or until tops spring back when touched lightly in center. Transfer the cupcakes to a rack to cool for 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool. ENJOY

 NOTES

• 350° F is a moderate oven temperature that will cook your food without burning it (for a reasonable amount of time!). Your food will taste more complex and undoubtedly more delicious.
• Paper baking cups can replace butter or oil in a muffin tin; they prevent your cupcakes or muffins from sticking to the tin and crumbling into pieces.
