Peanut Butter Cupcakes

It is hot here in Michigan, which is my most favorite weather ever. However it is not my mother's favorite weather and she is the one who sets the house rules and she has banned use of the oven between the hours of 7:00 am and 10:00 pm, and even nights on days when the temperature is especially high. Like today. So I stayed up late last night and baked up some peanut butter cupcakes for my momma.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes

by Nina Jones

Mix in pan and bring to a boil:
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter

Sift the following and add to the above mixture:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda

Mix and add to the above mixture:
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla

Stir well and pour into cupcake cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Extras: I added extra peanut butter to the batter and a dash of cinnamon on top of each cupcake before I baked them for a little something extra. I topped them with chocolate ganache frosting. (for frosting you let it cool in the fridge for about a half hour while mixing it every five minutes.)
