Peanut butter-almond brittle-yogurt cupcake

'Clear-the-pantry' cupcake

From the mish mash of assorted ingredients, it is obvious that this  is pantry clearing time.  It's a pre-holiday compulsion, even if I should be away from just slightly over  a week. 

Despite the ad-hoc ingredients, these are rather impressive tasting cupcakes , if I should say so. I wish I could tell you how long it can keep but the entire batch of cupcakes was gone in two days. Needless to say,  this recipe will be recorded  in the annals of my kitchen cook book for posterity.

Makes 9 cupcakes.

A -

110g plain flour

Pinch of sea salt, finely ground

1 tsp baking powder

50g almond brittle, finely ground

B -

1 egg

80g fine sugar

C -

100ml plain yogurt

1 big tbsp smooth peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and brittle. Mix and set aside.

In a separate container, combine yogurt,peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat sugar and egg until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
