Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and 1/2 cup peanut butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and 1/4 cup peanut butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract.
