Amish Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Jump to Recipe

When you combine peanut butter and cupcakes, you can’t help but get a winning combination.

The Amish view cupcakes in much the same way as everyone else: they are fun, portable, and can be made in various quantities that make it convenient. That’s the appeal of cupcakes. The appeal of peanut butter, especially among the Amish, is that it is very shelf stable, flavorful, and can add a twist to a sweet treat that takes it from being simply good to amazing. And that is what happens with these peanut butter cupcakes.

Without the peanut butter, these are simply good run-of-the-mill cupcakes, but the infusion of peanut butter into the recipe and into the frosting make this something super. Now if you are allergic to peanut butter, or are worried that someone in a group might be, you probably could just follow this recipe using sun butter or almond butter.

This recipe comes to us from an Amish woman in Michigan, and these are just so so good

The only thing, in retrospect, that I might do differently is drizzling a little chocolate into the peanut butter. Then you have like a Reese‘s cup effect.

This Amish Peanut Butter cupcakes recipe is a great summer snack for kids, picnics, anything.

Give these gems a try!.

Ingredients for the cupcakes and the frosting are very basic.

You can use smooth peanut butter, but crunchy or chunky peanut butter really gives it a great texture and flavor!
