The classic combo of peanut butter and chocolate come together in these Peanut Butter Lava Cupcakes. They'll soon become a favorite of the whole family, whether or not they are on a diabetes diet!
These would be great topped with sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar.

filling was the best part. Wasn't much dough, and hard to spread in cupcake pan. Definitely not a keeper

I have been a baker for 40 yrs and was skeptical when I read this recipe. Since I am trying to watch my carbs, I tried it anyway. These were horrible, the only thing good about it is the "lava"-but you better eat it right out of the oven. Baked mine 10 minutes and they were heavy as a rock with no flavor. If you use 1 TBSP in each cup for the 1st layer, not much thick doughy batter for the top. Is there a misprint somewhere? If not, skip this one save your ingredients for something edible.

very good could probably use a little more peanut butter

Think in stage 1 it should be seconds not minutes otherwise you could have a fire.

The recipe is correct. It states that the microwave be on 30 percent power not 100 percent power. 30 percent is much lower heat, so the peanut butter can melt slower and not dry up.

JWalker, We're not sure that a chocolate cake mix would yield the same effect for these lava cupcakes, especially since this adjustment hasn't been tested in the kitchen. If you are looking to make more cupcakes, your best bet would be to simply double the recipe.

can you use a chocolate cake mix and this same filling? I realize you would have to double your peanut butter mixture but 6 cupcakes won't go far!!

Hi Irwin. The conversion for 1/4 cup of liquid egg is indeed 1 whole egg. However, if you make this substitution, please be aware the nutrition will change. We hope enjoy it!

Rating required -- so it gets a 3. What I need is a little help with a conversion ... I don't use "liquid" eggs, so the 1/4 cup of liquid egg called for ..... Would that be equal to 1 regular egg?
