These tasted good but were pretty heavy and dense for a cupcake. They seemed more like muffins to me. I'd make again if I could figure out a way to get them to be less like a muffin and more like a cupcake.

These cupcakes tasted really good, but they were very crumbly like others have said. I tried making minis for a bridal shower and the tops of them broke off when I took them out of the pan.

These were tasty. They did not rise for me and looked flat. The bottoms of my cupcake liners did look greasy. The taste however was really good and it was simple to make. Maybe I will use baking powder next time?

Excellent! These were a real hit at work potluck. Made two changes, and they still turned out great. I used veg. oil instead of shortening, and I omitted the cream of tarter, because I didn't have any. I frosted them with the Chocolate Frosting I, that I found on A.R. Yummy! Give them a try, you won't be sorry!

AWESOME!!! I came down with a horrible cupcake craving and found this recipe--soooo glad I tried it!! In fact, I'm eating my second one right now and had to pause to enjoy the last bites :) I used previous reviewers comments and used lemon juice and oil (in lieu of cream of tartar and shortening, because I had niether). I used natural peanut butter, because that's all I have. I used the chocolate frosting (II? I think) recipe from this site and it is a perfect pair :) Accidentally added too much vanilla, but it did not seem to alter the peanut buttery taste. My only complaint was my own fault--I baked them just a couple of minutes too long so they were not quite as moist as I would have liked them to be. Though not quite dry--but borderline. My husband and I both love these--will make again!

Mmmm! I love peanut butter and these were so so good! We couldn't stop eating them! I used apple sauce in place of sugar and I also added about a half a bag of peanut butter chips. The texture of these was so incredible! I'm ready to whip up a batch right now!!

Very good recipe. As I really watch my sugar intake, I used Splenda Brown Sugar in lieu of regular Brown Sugar. I also used oil instead of shortening...and threw in about 1/2 cup of mini choc chips. I'll definitely make this recipe again.

Like others have said, these cupcakes were dense/rich...but delicious! I did not have an issue with the cupcakes being too dry. I added an extra half cup of peanut butter (other reviews said it lacked pb flavor) which worked perfectly. I also added choc. chips to half the batter...this absolutely made them for me, though others (with less of a sweet tooth) liked them without. Next I'll try minis with choc icing!

Being the peanut butter lover that I am, I couldn't pass up trying to make this recipe. It was DELICIOUS! I made a couple changes to the recipe. I used 1/2 Cup of vegetable oil instead of shortening and used all natural peanut butter as reccomended. They came out really moist and had a great peanut butter flavor. To top it off I made a chocolate ganache recipe from this website. Yum Yum Yum! I will definately be making this again!

My first attempt at cupcakes from scratch. I substituted 2 tsp lemon juice for the cream of tartar and 1/4 c oil for the shortening. They turned out slightly moist, although not as much as I would have liked. Topped with a chocolate butter icing, they were delicious and disappeared quickly. I will definitely make this recipe again.

I used 2 tsp. lemon juice instead of cream of tartar, a heaping cup of peanut butter, margarine stick instead of shortening, 1 1/2 tsps of vanilla, and sprinkled chocolate chips on top before baking. They were perfect except I don't think it tasted enough of peanut butter. I'm thinking to try the natural peanut butter next time.

I made these today and my kids and husband loved them! I did add a few milk chocolate chips to the tops of the muffins before I put them in the oven. I did have to bake them for quite a bit longer than 15-20 minutes, but I made large muffin size cupcakes. I think I will add a bit more peanut butter the next time I make them- I found the peanut buttery taste wasn't strong enough for me (or perhaps I'll try natural peanut butter; it was mentioned in a few other reviews. Thanks for the recipe! So I made these again last week; I added chocolate chips (just a handful) to the batter prior to cooking them- they were great! I also used brown sugar splenda instead of regular brown sugar and used whole wheat flour instead of white. Now, my husband liked the one's made with white flour better- but the kids didn't even notice a difference (and neither did I)

They tasted wonderful. The only thing that we didnot like about them were they were very crumbly. Not sure how to fix this but may make them again.

These are light and fluffy, but not terribly moist (not really dry and crumbly either). I didn't think they tasted of peanut butter enough - even though the house smelled like I'd made peanut butter cookies. I probably won't make these again.
