You heard me: Self-frosting. Peanut butter. Chocolate. Cupcakes. Are you intrigued? These novel cupcakes come from the sweet imagination of Hannah Kaminsky and can be found in her awesome first book, My Sweet Vegan.

This collection of sweet treats has never steered me wrong. When my hubby was recently desirous of a baked treat, and I was not at all inclined to bake at that moment, I directed him to Hannah’s book. He soon settled on these cupcakes and whipped them up himself in no time at all. They are extremely tasty – or they were, I should say, in the very short time that they lasted. What I loved about them best is that they are not overly sweet – and so lovely and moist. They’re the perfect sweet snack. And if you love chocolate and peanut butter together as much as I do, and I DO, these are an absolute no-brainer.

But aside from the obvious, what makes these particular cupcakes so special? They frost themselves. Make them and you will see (and taste) the magic unfold.

We did have a slight mishap precipitated by turning our backs on the freshly baked cupcakes when the pups were around. Bad idea. So we had 4 between us and they had 8 between themselves. A tad unfair. The pups were delighted.

Thankfully, there’s not enough chocolate in these to have endangered their health -  and I was able to snap a few photos before they all disappeared. I’m missing these cupcakes quite a bit right now, as I type this up – I feel as though I did not get my just allotment. Sleep deprivation is getting in my way of baking some more right this second – and for me to say that, I know I must be tired.
