Gooey Peanut Butter Lava Cupcakes

These Gooey Peanut Butter Lava Cupcakes are a dream dessert for peanut butter lovers—soft, tender cupcakes with a molten peanut butter center that melts out as soon as you take a bite. The batter comes together easily and bakes into fluffy cupcakes, while hidden inside is a creamy peanut butter “lava” that stays warm, gooey, and irresistible. With peanut butter chips throughout and a melty chocolate chip finish if desired, these cupcakes are pure indulgence in every bite.
