How to Make Peanut Butter Jelly Filled Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup creamy peanut butter and 1 large egg until smooth.
  4. Gradually add ½ cup milk to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until combined. Then stir in ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about ⅓ full with batter.
  7. Use your finger to create a small indentation in the center of each cupcake. Add 1 teaspoon of your favorite jelly to each indentation.
  8. Top with remaining batter, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Gently smooth the tops.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Jelly Filled Cupcakes! (Careful, the jelly centers are HOT!)
