Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Special equipment needed:
- Mini muffin tin
- Piping bag or plastic bag with a corner cut off
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Scoop the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the timbits are baking, make the peanut butter filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Once the timbits are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
9. Using a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner cut off, pipe the peanut butter filling into the center of each timbit.
10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
