Easy Peanut Butter Cupcakes Recipe

These easy Peanut Butter Cupcakes made with sour cream, milk, and brown sugar are beyond tender and moist. Both the batter and frosting have peanut butter mixed in, so these cupcakes are full of peanut flavor. They are also so easy to make from scratch and are always a crowd-pleaser. Any yes, you can add a cup of chocolate chips or swirl some chocolate ganache into the buttercream for a chocolate peanut butter vibe. Happy Baking!

Why has it taken me 58 years to see that magnificent “pull the bottom off your cupcake and sandwich the frosting” trick? Genius!

[@PreppyKitchen]

It's my favorite way to eat cupcakes!

[@stacytaddiken7634]

Same! I'm 48 years old and NEVER thought of doing it 😂 I can't wait to have my next cupcake now!

[@jackbits6397]

I thought the same thing! Keeps you from getting a frosting mustache!

I have baked this twice already, everyone loves it. It is so moist and delicious. You have to try it, it is so easy.

[@littlerob2004]

These look amazing. I will definitely be making these. Thank you for sharing John

[@talealawalton5287]

OMG! I made these and my husband loved them. They turned out beautifully. I’m definitely getting your cook book. Thank You!❤

[@inspired9239]

I never much cared for making cupcakes, but watching your technique for sandwiching that frosting has revived my interest. Now, I've just gotta try it! Thanks!!

[@sophiemorrison9820]

John, I don't know how you do it but you bake all the things I love and would bake. Your recipes turn out so well! Love them! I always look forward to your videos.cheers!

[@Briloveskeroppi]

I just wanna say thank you so much I’m really young and I love to bake and you’ve taught me to make everything I have baked im gonna be making a red velvet cake for my mom’s birthday in 3 days and it’s your recipe I don’t know what I would do without you

[@claudeed]

I made this for the second time today and my friends were impressed. To be honest I originally thought the peanut better frosting would be overkill on the peanut butter flavor but the two are different enough that they work beautifully together. Thanks for posting this!!

[@Mara-qu8ou]

Yesss something I can make tonight! Thanks again for the amazing recipes!

[@90hjorth]

Just want to say thank you so much for all these awesome recipes. Videos and an easy print out has made it so easy to get into baking! You’ve probably impacted so many people in this aspect. Hope you see this comment and hope you feel the recognition and appreciation!

[@Rheaheart128]

I love your videos and recipes! Especially all the chocolate, cheesecakes, and peanut butter stuff 😍 Plus, the way you talk and your mannerisms make it feel like a friend is just helping me cook really good food. Just like a really genuine, kind person who would make you some cookies if you're having a bad day or the friend who makes sure that you're eating, and if not, they'd whip you up something real quick but you can taste the love in the food lol

[@judygoulding-pl4wl]

Thanks! I'll make this for my husband on Valentines Day, Plus I'll top it off with a Reese's peanut butter cup to add a touch of Valentines Day chocolate.

[@EA_Kar]

Turned out great, with sm crisp edges~ Had sm 18% fat sour cream which didnt quite have the water content for this so leveled it out w sm greek youghurt. Batter was still rather thick, thinned it out w a dash of 35% cream folded in. Got to admit that only 4/5th of the sugar was put in, couldn't help myself. Had to run before I could make the icing so tried it w sm of that high fat sour cream and the tang was peeeerfect. Will definitely be making these again~

[@EA_Kar]

These are my notes now 😅. Trial 2 switched out sour cream for kefir (3.2 % m.f.) and milk for whipping cream (35% mf). The sugar still cut to 4/5th (around 200g). Half were baked in madeleine tins -- looks cute, really need to use the tin more often, any sponge/chiffon should technically work out fine; the tops of these were (unfortunately) pale while the ribbed bottoms a nice caramel brown and there's only so much wiggle room these when it's so thin at the edges.

[@torreycat7716]

Those look soooo yummy!!

[@yotagerlie]

Ok John. This by far is the best cupcake I've ever eaten. I cut back the brown sugar by 1/4 but otherwise the exact recipe and oh my goodness.. AND THAT FROSTING tho. 🤤 Best peanut butter frosting everrrr

[@brie1026]

Do you think it would have been better with chocolate frosting, or was it amazing with the double peanut butter combo (pb cupcake & pb frosting)?

[@brandidupree3932]

Cupcakes are my weakness. I made these today for my family and they enjoyed them. I want to eat them so bad, but I won't because the peanut butter hurts me so bad. Thank you for the recipe, I may try this with Sunbutter next time. ☺️

[@Gia_Mc_Fia]

I love this recipe! I can't wait to make it. Have you ever or ever wanted to make a crock-pot chocolate cake btw? The kind that uses a cup of real mayonnaise? I love that cake so much. So rich and moist. Chocolate Fudge Cake (Crock-Pot Bread'n Cake Bake pan recipe) 2 cups of flour 1 egg 1 cup of real mayonnaise 1 cup of hot water 1 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/4 tsp salt 6 tbl cocoa Stir together dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and beat two minutes with an electric mixer. Pour into greased and floured Bread'n Cake pan and cover. Bake in covered crock-pot on High 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours or until done (I cook for 2 1/2 hours).

[@Waffl3B1T]

These are gonna be made after my doctors appointment. Holy hell these look beautiful and tasty!!

[@PreppyKitchen]

Yay! Hope you love them!!

[@phoenix2.020]

Wish I could eat peanut butter John. The cupcakes look great. I’d like to try this with Biscoff butter. That would be delicious! 😋 😋

[@PreppyKitchen]

That would be so good! I just tested a Biscoff recipe out today!!!

[@chelsiejakobsen3382]

I'm allergic to peanuts as well, but if you have some way of acquiring Wowbutter, it is the perfect substitute! The texture, smell and look is that of genuine peanutbutter, but it's made of chickpeas. I've tried many of John's peanutbutter recipes with this fake peanutbutter and they came out great and delicious. :)
