Honey Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Most kids loved peanut butter and jelly but for me, I like peanut butter and honey. I’m sure it has something to do with my incurable sweet tooth, but there is something really delicious about the nutty and the gooey sweet that goes so well together.
cupcake ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
frosting ingredients:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup peanut butter
pinch of salt
3 TB heavy cream
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Prep a cupcake pan with liners.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs and the sugars. Add in the honey, milk, oil and vanilla. Carefully add in the flour mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepped cups, about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-17 mins. Let cool on a wire rack.
To make the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the honey, butter and peanut butter. Add in a pinch of salt, and add the milk just until you get the right consistency. You might not use all of it, or you might need more. Pump your mixer up to high to get the frosting nice and fluffy.
Oh my those sound good – and i have all the ingredients including the very same paper liners to grace the yummy cupcakes
I just wanted to let you know that I took your lead and headed to Fishs Eddy when I was in NYC. I spent an hour and a half in that store — as you know it isn’t a very large store. lol. Thank you for letting me know where you got your dishes though — that store is above addicting. I can’t wait to try these cupcakes!! Yummm
Oh. My. Goodness. I think I’m in love.
