Just sweet enough for dessert but not too sweet for breakfast, these peanut butter chocolate chip muffins go great with a cup of tea or glass of cold milk.
This month’s Muffin Monday snuck up on me! I could have sworn there was one more after Thanksgiving. Turns out that I wasn’t the only one!
So after a lot of scurrying around and possibly some panic baking, we have five SIX delicious muffin recipes to share with you today. This one is mine.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins
This recipe makes six normal sized muffins, chock full of chocolate chips and peanut butter. I use Jif Extra Crunchy because it’s my favorite. I topped the muffins with mini chocolate chips before baking because I ran out of the regular ones.
Ingredients
2 tablepoons plain whole milk yogurt
1/3 cup or 80ml milk
1 cup or 125g all-purpose flour
1/2 cup, packed, or 100g dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup or 83g crunchy peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter, softened, plus more for greasing the pan and the chips
1 large egg, at room temperature
3oz or 85g semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for decoration, if desired
Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C. Prepare your six-cup muffin pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with muffin cups.
Measure the milk into a measuring cup and stir the yogurt into it. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Put just a dap or two of butter in the chocolate chips and rub them with your clean hands to separate the chips that are stuck together. Add the buttery chips to the dry ingredient mixture and toss to coat.
In another mixing bowl, whisk the butter, peanut butter, milk/yogurt and egg.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold until almost completely combined. You might still see a little flour.
Spoon or scoop the thick batter into your prepared muffin pan. Top with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about five minutes then transfer the muffins to the wire rack to cool completely before plating up to serve.
Enjoy!
