Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well between each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and set aside.
Divide the brownie batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Drop a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture onto the center of each brownie batter-filled cup. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center (avoiding the peanut butter swirl) comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
Let the brownie cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
