How to Make Intense Peanut Butter Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fill prepared muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Frost with your favorite frosting and garnish with extra peanut butter cups or chocolate chips (optional).
