Trying to find baked cupcakes at the store that are gluten and dairy free is difficult.
I decided to try and make a batch of mini chocolate peanut butter cup cupcakes myself to share with my little one and family on her third birthday.
Although these little cupcakes don’t exactly taste like cake, but more so like brownies I decided why not post the recipe anyways.
They do taste good and who knows maybe someone else out there looking for a gluten and dairy free treat options for a birthday or other special occasion might be able to use it.
The Ingredients Needed for the Cupcakes
Steps for Making the Mini Cupcakes
Basic Peanut Butter Frosting
The peanut butter frosting is super simple to make. All you need for ingredients are:
To make the frosting, place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat with a mixer on medium to high speed for about a minute. If you find the frosting needs to be thicker add in more confectioners sugar until you reach the consistency you are looking for in your frosting.
If you find the frosting is too thick go ahead and slowly add in a tablespoon of almond milk until it thins out a bit, but do not add too much almond milk or the frosting will become too soft to use.
Once the frosting is ready go ahead and frost your mini cupcakes however you desire. I like to scoop my frosting into a frosting tube and squeeze it out onto the cupcakes.
You can use a butter knife and frost the cupcakes that way.
End Thoughts to Keep in Mind
Once you have put your cupcakes together you may decorate them however you choose. For my daughter’s birthday she loves the gold coins you get during Christmas time so I decorated hers with some of those along with mini marshmallows and gummies.
Go ahead and be creative and use whatever you have on hand to make your mini cupcakes special and don’t forget to have fun while making them.
