Define a global variable to detect whether title is already added.

function PL_recent_posts( $atts ) { 
    global $title_added;
    ...
    if ( $rposts->have_posts() ) {
        if ( $title_added ) {
            $html = '<ul class="recent-posts">';
        } else {
            $html = '<h3>Recent Posts</h3><ul class="recent-posts">';
            $title_added = true;
        }

Hope that helps..!
