Notes

Customization is key with these cupcakes! Consider swapping the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter, or experimenting with different frosting flavors like chocolate ganache or a fluffy vanilla cream for a fun twist. Store your cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
