Makes 1 dozen cupcakes. Difficulty
Easy
Ingredients
For the cupcakes: 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 2 Tablespoons canola or vegetable oil 1-1/4 cup gf flour 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup milk
For the frosting: 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter 2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup milk 1-3/4 to 2 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 standard muffin cups with paper liners. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat with a hand mixer the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gf flour baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with 1/4 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing after each addition.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Remove cupcakes from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Make the frosting: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the peanut butter; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add 1/4 cup milk, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Gradually add powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla, beating with a hand held mixer until thickened. (Note: Start by gradually adding up to 1-3/4 cup powdered sugar. You may find that you will need to add more powdered sugar to get the consistency of frosting.) Spread frosting over cupcakes.
