Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup Peanut Butter & Co Smooth Operator
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
1 cup peanut butter chips (from a 10-ounce bag)
For the Frosting:
1 stick butter, room temperature
1/2 Peanut Butter & Co Smooth Operator
1 1/2 powdered sugar
Roasted peanuts for garnish (not chopped)
Sea salt for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat peanut butter, butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until incorporated. Alternately add flour and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in peanut butter chips. Use about a 1/3 cup dry measure to scoop batter into prepared tins. Bake cupcakes 34 to 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in tins 5 minutes; remove cupcakes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While cupcakes cool, make frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and peanut butter and beat to combine. Gradually add sugar until combined; beat until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pipe or spread cupcakes with frosting; top with nuts and sea salt, if desired.
