Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and set the bowl aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Add the peanut butter and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-fourths full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy these Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins with a glass of milk or your favorite coffee!
