Deliciously Sweet Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes

Peanut butter and jelly cupcakes deliver a delightful combination of creamy sweetness and rich flavor, making them an irresistible choice for any gathering.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup jelly your choice of flavor

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Fold in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  • Spoon the batter into the lined cupcake pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, use a piping bag to inject jelly into the center of each cupcake.
  • Frost with additional peanut butter frosting or a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
