I have been waiting to make these cupcakes for ever but never got round to it. What inspired me this time were the peanut butter (yes peanut butter) oreo's my boyfriend bought for me. He's definitely a keeper. ;)
They're my favourite oreo by far, if you haven't tried them you gotta!
Vanilla cupcakes topped with crunchy peanut butter buttercream and a peanut butter oreo.
Because you can never have enough peanut butter. Or even say the words peanut butter (because I have far to many times in this post.)
Ingredients:
12 Cupcakes-
- 200g unsalted butter
- 200g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g self raising flour
Buttercream-
- 250g unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (or smooth if you prefer)
- 500g icing sugar
- 12 peanut butter oreos
Preheat your oven to 180c and line a muffin tray with 12 cases.
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Add the eggs, beating after each addition, adding the vanilla with the last.
Sift over the flour and gently fold in with a large metal spoon.
Divide between the 12 cases, then place into the oven for 16-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once baked, leave to cool completely before icing.
For the buttercream, beat the butter until light in colour, gradually add the peanut butter and icing sugar until a nice spreading consistency. Add a drop of water if its too thick.
Spread onto each cooled cupcake and top with an oreo!
