The Key Ingredients and Why They Matter

Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup, softened)

Butter is the heart of this recipe, creating a rich and tender texture. Using unsalted butter allows you to control the salt levels, ensuring the cupcakes have a perfect balance of flavors. For a deeper, nuttier taste, you can brown the butter before mixing it into the batter.

Granulated Sugar (1 cup)

Sugar isn’t just about sweetness—it also plays a crucial role in structure and moisture retention. It helps create a delicate crumb while allowing the cupcakes to caramelize slightly as they bake, giving them that irresistible golden hue.

Eggs (2 large)

Eggs act as a binding agent, holding everything together while also providing structure and richness. Using room-temperature eggs ensures they incorporate smoothly into the batter, leading to a more even texture.

Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)

Vanilla enhances the natural sweetness of the cupcakes, adding a warm, aromatic depth to every bite. Opt for pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.

All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup)

Flour gives the cupcakes their body while maintaining a light and fluffy texture. If you want to make these gluten-free, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.

How to Make Them Chocolate?

To turn these into chocolate peanut butter lava cupcakes, simply replace 1/4 cup of flour with 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder. This will give the cupcakes a rich, chocolatey base that perfectly complements the gooey peanut butter center.

Pro Tips for the Best Lava Cupcakes

    • Use creamy peanut butter for a silky, lava-like center.
    • Freeze small peanut butter dollops before adding them to the batter to maintain the perfect gooey texture.
    • Don’t overbake! The key to a molten center is removing them at just the right time.
