MOO Vanilla Yoghurt chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter yoghurt

My Bball and I recently got engaged so we organised a picnic for our families to meet. My family had met his mum but my siblings hadn’t met his siblings. So I thought I’d use them as guinea pigs (thank you family if you are reading this) and bake some chocolate cupcakes with a peanut butter and yoghurt twist.

The base cupcake recipe is inspired by Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Crumble Cake. It includes one cup of hot water so the mixture is runny but that’s what makes them moist. Don’t be worried.

Ingredients:
Cupcakes:
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup boiling water
Peanut butter yoghurt:
  • ¾ cup MOO Vanilla Yoghurt
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
Method:
  • Pre-heat oven to 175 fan forced
  • Grease 24 cupcake patty pans
  • Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda
  • Add sugar, milk, oil, eggs
  • With an electric beater mix on medium for 2 minutes
  • Add hot water and mix with a wooden spoon
  • Fill each cupcake pan over ¾ full (it is a runny mixture)
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes (depending on size of cupcakes) or until a skewer comes out clean
  • While the cupcakes are baking, make the peanut butter yoghurt by mixing the yoghurt and peanut butter together
  • Once the cupcakes are cooked, let them cool
  • Cut a small hole in the middle of each cupcake to ¾ down and fill with peanut butter yoghurt
  • Put the circle of cupcake cut out back in (like a butterfly cupcake).
You can put icing on top of each (I did for the kids at the picnic) but up to you. This is a moist cupcake with a twist – not for those who hate peanut butter.

Challenge 3 - Milo and Yoghurt - I think it's my best!

Image
My workmate elegantly put up on my blog "Milo and Yoghurt...go!" This one I had to say excited me. Everytime I eat milo I feel like a kid again. That's what I love about food, it's ability to take you back to memorable moments in your life. Even a piece of kraft single cheese on a piece of toast reminds me of all the amazing times I had at my grandma's growing up. Time at grandma's house with my cousins was always my favourite part of the school holidays. So yes, I was excited and I felt like a kid again. Growing up I used to love eating chocolate mousse, it was just beautiful. So a milo and yoghurt mousse came straight to mind. Smooth, rich and light. However milo itself isn't overly sweet and the yoghurt will make the mousse rather tart. So I thought it needed something to even out the flavour. Like lemon compliments tequila, strawberries compliment chocolate. So I thought a sweet strawberry compote would work well. In terms of visuals, I needed somethin...

Thai meatballs

Image
I think meatballs are one of the most diverse dishes of all time - cooked in tomato sauce in Italy and Greece, wrapped in flatbread in Turkey, served in hot soup in Vietnam or covered in gravy in Sweden. When done well, they are moist, delicious and a great cheap eat. When done badly they are dry and tasteless.  Lending itself to so many different creations, I like to experiment with the humble meatball. For this dish you can use traditional coconut milk however for a tangy and creamy twist, you can use yoghurt. Go with your gut.  Ingredients: 500g pork or beef 1/2inch of ginger, grated 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon of crushed lemongrass 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of coriander 1 red chili (small or ½ big chili – remove seeds if you don’t like spice) ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1 tablespoons of thai paste (you can use green curry paste if you like or follow the below recipe) 3/4 cup of chicken stock ½ ...

Chocolate peanut butter balls

Image
We were going to visit family for morning tea when I had a moment of panic and realised I had nothing to take. In these situations no bake bites are my go to. They are easy, simple and need very few ingredients. Whatever is in the pantry, you can put in a mixing ball with some melted butter and chocolate and you have a quick sweet treat. That day, I was wanting to feel like a kid again so looked for ingredients that would conjure up fond childhood memories. That ingredient for me is peanut butter. Peanut butter with honey on toast was my weekend indulgence. I loved the sweet and salty combination.  So with almond biscuits in the pantry and an abundance of peanut butter at my disposal I got to work. This week’s blog recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. What you make with things from the pantry.
