If yesterday’s DIY didn’t float your boat, then this recipe for the cupcakes you saw definitely will. If not, then you’re either really hard to please or you’re just a skinny runner who fakes hating cake. I’m just sayin’..
Peanut Butter Oreo Cupcakes
Ingredients- yields: 20 cupcakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 ounce bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 20 oreo cookies
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 20 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar on high until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time. With the mixer on low, slowly pour in the buttermilk and vanilla and allow to incorporate for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the flour mixture and beat on medium until fully incorporated.
- Fill liners and bake for 18 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes from the muffin tin to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2-3 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons oreo cookie crumbs
Directions
- Separate 10 oreo cookies and discard the cream filling. In a food processor or plastic bag, crush the cookies into fine crumbs.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and shortening on high until fully combined, and then add the peanut butter.
- Once combined, add the confectioner’s sugar, milk, and salt and stir for 2 minutes. If you want thicker buttercream, add more confectioner’s sugar.
- Finally, toss in the cookie crumbs and beat on high for 2 minutes.
