Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Centre's

The other week I fancied a little naughty treat and decided to make these light and fluffy chocolate chip cupcakes with gooey peanut butter centre's!

 

They turned out perfectly! Super light and moist (ok, they are a little burnt around the tops but they didn't taste it!) with a hidden surprise in the middle!

 

To make these you will need:

 

100g sugar

115g butter

150g self raising flour

1 egg

Chocolate chips or chunks

Peanut butter (I used crunchy)

 

~ Preheat oven to 190°C and grease a muffin tin

 

~ Cream butter (I softened mine first in the microwave a little) and sugar for 1 minute (I used my electric hand mixer)

 

~ Add the egg and beat on low until combined

 

~ Sift in the flour and add chocolate chips or chunks and mix together with a wooden spoon (or spatula or any other tool you have handy!)

 

~ Scoop a small teaspoon of mixture into the muffin tin, then add a small spoonful of peanut butter and then top with another spoonful of cake mixture.

 

~ Repeat until muffin tin is full (my mixture made 6 generous sized muffins!)

 

~ Cook for 15mins or until golden brown.

 

~ Devour while still warm!!

 

 

I'm so excited - I've finally took the plunge and ordered myself a beautiful, shiny stand mixer! Just waiting for it to arrive - cue lots of baking, treats and recipes very soon!
