Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
Place an Oreo cookie at the bottom of each cupcake liner.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on top of each Oreo cookie.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Spoon the brownie batter evenly over the Oreo and peanut butter layers in the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 of the way.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your decadent Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcakes!
