Have them still warm (few things taste better than a baked good just out of the oven!) or when cool. They are good either ways. A perfect combination of nuttiness and sweetness with just enough chocolate added in !These muffins are soft and fluffy and not too sweet !
While they are good just as they are , you can skip chocolate chips. Or you can revamp them with chopped , toasted nuts instead or with a swirl of jam for peanut butter jelly muffins !
Peanut butter muffins
These easy and delicious peanut butter muffins with chocolate chips are a perfect treat for any time of day !
- 125 grams or 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 3 tablespoon oil
- 100 grams or 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup peanut butter at room temperature
- 60 ml or 1/4 cup milk at room temperature
- 60 ml or 1/4 cup curd or yoghurt at room temperature
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional
-
Preheat your oven to 180 C / 350 F. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners or butter and flour the cavities . This recipe makes 9 small muffins or 6 larger muffins
-
In a bowl , sift or whisk together all the dry ingredients – flour , salt , baking soda , baking powder.
-
In another bigger bowl , whisk together the egg , oil , peanut butter , milk and curd along with the sugar.
-
Add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture and fold with a spatula ONLY UNTIL combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
-
Divide the batter equally into the cavities of your prepared pan- an ice cream scoop makes this easy. Fill each cavity or liner 2/3 rds full.
-
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes if making 6 muffins ( smaller ) or 22- 25 minutes if making 9 muffins . The muffin will spring back if pressed on top and a toothpick inserted will come out clean.
-
Remove from oven and cool in pan for 5 minutes . Then remove from pan .
-
Enjoy warm or completely cool !
The recipe can be doubled.
I used smooth/creamy peanut butter.
Be careful of over mixing the batter – the muffins will turn out denser .
If not using liners, butter the rims of the cavities as well
My measuring cup is 240 ml.
These peanut butter muffins have a rich taste that are sure to satisfy any peanut butter lover’s cravings – for an indulgent breakfast , easy mid day snack or a light dessert !
