Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until creamy and smooth.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the butter mixture, and beat until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then, add the vanilla extract.

Step 6

On low speed, alternately mix in the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. (Divide the dry ingredients into 3 additions and the milk into 2 additions.)

Step 7

Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
