• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter and peanut butter together until smooth and well combined.

4. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture, and beat until creamy and fluffy.

5. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Continue to mix until the wet ingredients are fully combined.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. If desired, fold in the optional chopped roasted peanuts for a bit of crunch.

8. Evenly divide the batter among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

10. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
