All-purpose regular flour that has been fluffed, scooped and leveled in the cup. <\/li><li><strong>Cocoa Powder<\/strong>. Unsweetened, all-natural cocoa powder.<\/li><li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Baking Powder<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Espresso Powder\/ Instant Coffee<\/strong> <strong>Granules<\/strong>. You can use instant espresso powder or an equal amount of instant coffee granules. Using coffee in your chocolate peanut butter cupcakes won&rsquo;t make them taste like coffee&ndash;it just enhances the flavor of the chocolate. Trust me and try it once. <\/li><li><strong>Oil<\/strong>. Any oil without flavor, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil or avocado oil.<\/li><li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>. Pure vanilla extract; don&rsquo;t use the artificial stuff here.<\/li><li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>. Light or dark brown sugar work equally well for this recipe.<\/li><li><strong>Buttermilk<\/strong>. If you don&rsquo;t have low-fat buttermilk, you can use a shelf-stable powdered buttermilk product. Just follow the instructions on the back to make a batch. Alternatively, you can use sour cream. Finally, you could use the same amount of milk with one-half teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice added to it.<\/li><li><strong>Unsalted Butter<\/strong>. Just a small amount of softened butter to make the frosting super fluffy.<\/li><li><strong>Peanut Butter<\/strong>. The best kind to use is creamy, non-natural. I don&rsquo;t recommend making this with natural peanut butter that requires a stir before use.<\/li><li><strong>Powdered Sugar<\/strong>. <\/li><li><strong>Heavy Cream<\/strong>. A splash of heavy whipping cream is the secret ingredient to make the frosting super fluffy and creamy. We only need 2 tablespoons, which is less than I put in my morning coffee!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cupcakes-9-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>First, preheat the oven to 350-degrees F, and place 4 cupcake liners in 4 holes of a muffin pan.

id=\"mv_create_615_1\">Preheat the oven to 350, and line a muffin pan with with 4 liners.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_615_2\">In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and espresso<br>powder. Whisk well.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_615_3\">In a separate small bowl, whisk together the canola oil, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and buttermilk until well combined.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_615_4\">Finally, pour the wet ingredients in the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Do not over<br>mix.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_615_5\">Divide the batter between the 4 muffin cups with liners. Bake the cupcakes for 16-17 minutes.<br>Test a cupcake with a toothpick to ensure they're done before removing from the oven. (A completely cooked cupcake will have some moist crumbs clinging to the toothpick, but will not have any raw or wet batter. If cupcakes are under-cooked, they sink as they cool).<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_615_6\">Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 1 minute, then move them to a cooling rack to cool<br>completely. Don't cool them in the pan.<\/li><li id=\"mv_create_615_7\">Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, add the the<br>butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Using an electric hand mixer on low speed., beat the frosting together until smooth and creamy. Frost the cupcakes and serve.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"mv-create-notes mv-create-notes-slot-v2\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"mv-create-notes-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-notes-content\">\n\t\t\t<p><p><strong>Espresso Powder\/ Instant Coffee Granules<\/strong>: You can use instant espresso powder or an equal amount of instant coffee granules. <br \/><strong>Oil<\/strong>: Any oil without flavor, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil or avocado oil.<br \/><strong>Buttermilk<\/strong>: If you don&#x27;t have low-fat buttermilk, you can use a powdered buttermilk that is shelf-stable. Just follow the instructions on the back to make a batch. Alternatively, you can use sour cream. Finally, you could use the same amount of milk with one-half teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice added to it.<br \/><strong>Peanut Butter<\/strong>: The best kind to use is creamy, non-natural. I don&#x27;t recommend making this with natural peanut butter that requires a stir before use.<\/p><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-products\">\n\t\t\t<h3
