Gooey Peanut Butter Lava Cupcakes

8. Add the lava center: place a small spoonful of peanut butter into the middle of each cupcake and cover with a bit more batter.The peanut butter will melt into a gooey pool inside the cupcake as it bakes.
9. Bake 18–22 minutes, until edges test clean (center may stay gooey — that’s perfect!).The outer crumb should set while the center remains soft for the signature lava effect.
10. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for a melty finish.Add them right after baking so they soften from the residual heat.
11. Cool slightly and serve warm for maximum lava effect. 😍The warmth keeps the center flowing and enhances the cupcake’s aroma and richness.

✨ Enjoy your Gooey Peanut Butter Lava Cupcakes! Soft, warm, and incredibly creamy—these cupcakes are pure bliss for peanut butter lovers.
