Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy using a whisk or an electric hand mixer.
Add the eggs to the peanut butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
