Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar, followed by the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In another bowl, prepare the peanut butter filling by combining the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with brownie batter. Place a heaping teaspoon of the peanut butter filling in the center of each, then top with another spoonful of brownie batter to cover the filling. Each liner should be about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are just set and a toothpick inserted into the edge (not the peanut butter center) comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your Peanut Butter Filled Brownie Cupcakes with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
