One challenge of baking with peanut butter is that it tends to dry out baked goods. I made some adjustments to this recipe to avoid this. I used oil instead of butter, brown sugar instead of regular sugar, and cake flour.
When the cupcakes are done, they will wrinkle on the top. They don’t rise too much, they stay flat (unless you fill up the pad too much). Very suitable for adding icing sugar!
