Peanut Butter Cupcakes
As you all know, I love peanut butter. And I love baking. I am always on the lookout for a good peanut butter cake recipe. One that is not too dry, or too dense. Very often peanut butter cake recipes come out like breads. Which is fine and tasty, but not really what I want in a cake recipe.
And, as you may or may not know, Sarah just loves Sprinkles cupcakes. So, last week she and Betty were down in Santa Monica and they ended up at Sprinkles Cupcakes. Betty gifted us with half a dozen of their delicious little sugar bombs, two of which were peanut butter chip.
Magical!
They were so good I just had to see if I could find a recipe for them!
So I Googled up the the Sprinkles peanut butter chip cupcake recipe that owner Candace Nelson gave away on a morning talk show some year (or two) ago.
It was equally magical!
I don't know if it was due to the big globs of chocolate chunks I used, or all that creamy, natural peanut butter, but those were the moistest (yeah, I wrote moist-est!) peanut butter cupcakes I ever baked!
I urge you, to give this recipe a try if you love peanut butter half as much as I do! You can even watch the video on YouTube - just search for Lisa Quinn and Candace Nelson Peanut Butter Chip Cupcakes Recipe and enjoy!
