Description

These Peanut Butter Muffins are a comforting treat that combines the rich, nutty depth of smooth peanut butter with the sweetness of brown sugar. The batter comes together quickly, resulting in a tender, moist crumb that holds up well without becoming dense. Chopped peanuts add a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft texture. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or an afternoon pick-me-up, these muffins pair wonderfully with coffee or tea. They are easy to make with pantry staples, offering a homemade quality that is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Butter standard 16-cup mini muffin tin or fill standard 12-cup tin 3/4 full for larger muffins.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
  5. Stir in remaining milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until flour is moistened; batter will be lumpy.
  7. Fold in chopped peanuts.
  8. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

For best results, use smooth peanut butter for a consistent texture, but crunchy peanut butter can be used for extra crunch.

Do not overmix the batter after adding wet ingredients to dry; a lumpy batter ensures tender muffins.

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

If using a standard 12-cup muffin tin, increase baking time to 20-25 minutes.
