- brown sugar

PB and J Cupcakes
I like to start by making the jam ahead as it needs to chill for 1-2 hours.
To make the raspberry jelly, cook the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in small saucepan over medium heat. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the raspberries to fall apart. Meanwhile, in separate bowl, mix the water and the cornstarch together until well combined. Now add the corn starch mixture to the hot raspberry puree and cook a couple minutes, stirring, until thick.
Chill for a couple of hours.

While the cupcakes are baking, it’s time to make the yummy peanut butter frosting! In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter until fluffy, it will take about 4 minutes. Add in the creamy peanut butter and continue beating for another minute. Now add in the powdered sugar and mix for 1 minute. Finally, mix in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.

Use a spoon to dig out a small crater from each cooled cupcakes. Add a spoonful of the homemade raspberry jam in crater.
