Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs. Add in the milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and peanut butter, stirring until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or spoon. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to disperse evenly throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 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 allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
