Why This Recipe Stands Out
Pro Kitchen Tips
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
Directions
Warm your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lining a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a bigger bowl, mix the brown sugar, peanut butter, applesauce, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing on low speed just until everything comes together. Spoon the batter into the liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Pop them in the oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before gently loosening the edges with a knife and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
