How to Make Chocolate Cupcakes Filled With Peanut Butter Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
  2. In a medium heat-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips together. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about halfway full with batter.
  7. Place one mini peanut butter cup in the center of each cupcake.
  8. Top with the remaining batter, filling the cups almost to the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the muffin tin before frosting (optional).
