Of Peanut butter and Chocolate

18 Aug

I’ve always been a great fan of the peanutbutter-chocolate couple but I was getting a bit tired with the usual Chocolate cupcake with PB frosting that I’ve made oh-so-many times. And the last time I tried making Peanut Butter cupcakes, mine turned out soggy and too sweet.

I thought, well..maybe it’s time I revisit the Peanut Butter Cupcake land and give it another shot. And I did.
And I’m glad I did, because it is heaven on the palms of my hand :)

1-1

Ingredients:
makes 8-10 mini cupcakes
40g soft butter
20g creamy PB
70g flour
20g corn flour
50g sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp cream/milk
1/2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
  2. Mix everything in a bowl and using your mixer, mix it at high for about 1 – 1 1/2 minutes.
  3. Divide batter and dunk in a chunck of fresh banana. Bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Leave cupcakes to cool and the slather some chocolate ganache (or you can even use Hershey’s Syrup) and sprinkle some ground peanuts on top.

3-1

I also had one banana left from last night’s dessert so I just cut them up and dump them in each cupcake. The outcome: nice soft gooey banana in a really moist PB cupcake.

2-2

I think I will definitely make these again. They’re simple, not too Peanut Butter-ish and are really, really, really GOOD!

Yes. I DO love Peanut Butter and Chocolate everyone..anybody care to join me? :)
