Brownie Cupcakes and Peanut Butter Frosting

Hey guys,

I love brownies. They are my ultimate comfort food and as I am warming to peanut butter I thought that I could mix them together and make a perfect snack. So here is a recipe that I have whizzed together. I hope that you enjoy.

Ingredients: 

225g of plain chocolate
85g of unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
200g of soft brown sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
140g of plain flour

175g of unsalted butter
220g of icing sugar
110g of peanut butter

Method: 

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C. Then line a 12 hole cupcake/muffin tin. Pop the butter and the chocolate in a medium pan and heat over a medium heat. Once the chocolate and the butter have melted take off the heat.

2. Whisk the eggs and the sugar together, then add the vanilla extract. Stir in the flour until well combined. Then add in the chocolate butter mixture. Spoon the mixture into paper cases until they are half full and then bake for 25-30 mins.

3. Once the cakes have cooled start on the icing. In a bowl beat the unsalted butter for around 30 secs to soften. Then add the peanut butter, once well mixed, add the icing sugar little by little. Then put a nozzle in a piping bag and put the icing in the piping bag.  Then starting from the outside and circling into the middle.

Then these cupcakes are done x

I hope that you enjoy this recipe and please tweet me pictures of your bakes using the hash tag #bakingbuddiesautumn. By the way, is anyone watching The Great British Bake Off?

Thank you
