Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Roasted peanuts, chopped (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick yet slightly lumpy.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
If desired, sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Golden Peanut Butter Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
