Gluten-free Chocolate Chunk Greek Yogurt Cupcakes w/ Peanut Butter Frosting

Prep & Bake Time: Less than an hour

Serves 12

What you need/ingredients:

12 cupcake linings

2/3 cup Chobani Chocolate Chunk Greek Yogurt

2 cups + 2 tbs of gluten-free all-purpose flour

1 1/4 tsp of baking powder

3/4 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

5 tbs of unsalted butter (room temperature)

1 1/2 cup of sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup Nestle peanut butter and milk chocolate chips

Instructions:

Step 1:  Preheat oven to 350 F and you can go ahead and line your cupcakes

Step 2:  In a medium bowl mix your dry ingredients together (baking soda, baking powder, flour).

Step 3:   In a  separate large bowl mix butter and sugar until creamy (you can use an electric blender to make sure it is smooth).  Add in eggs, one at a time and mix-well.  Gradually start adding the flour mixture and the Chobani (some flour mixture, some Chobani, some flour mixture, some Chobani…some flour mixture (make sure you end with flour mixture).

Step 4:  Mix-in Nestle peanut butter and milk chocolate chips.

Step 5:  Pour your mixed batter approximately 2/3 full into lined cupcakes.  Bake for 15 mins and check to see that muffins are starting to golden-brown on the sides. Do the toothpick test. Most likely you will bake for another 2-5 minutes.  Cool for 15 minutes.  While cooling you can prepare the frosting.

Peanut Butter Frosting  (to frost 12 cupcakes):

1/4 cup of softened butter

1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter

1.5 tbs of milk (I used 1%, but that is your preference)

1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar

Step 1:  Soften the butter in microwavable bowl for about 10 seconds if it is not already softened.

Step 2:  Mix-in peanut butter and mix until smooth (electric blender works best, but you can do by hand)

Step 3:  Gradually add milk and confectioners sugar.  Can add or decrease amount of confectioner’s sugar based on your desired consistency.

Step 4:  Once the cupcakes are cooled you can add the frosting (don’t add too soon or it will melt off the cupcake), and enjoy now or refrigerate for a later time!
