Peanut Butter Muffins with Chocolate Chips
Peanut Butter Muffins are super moist, full of peanut butter flavor, and stuffed with mini chocolate chips ~ these protein packed energy boosters are a family favorite!
Servings: 12 muffins
Equipment
- muffin pan
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (or use regular chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin tin liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, peanut butter, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
- Add the milk and the vanilla extract, and whisk together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour, and then add this mixture to the wet ingredients, folding it together.
- Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. You will have enough batter to fill them all the way to the top, like I did, but you can also make more like 14-16 smaller muffins by filling your muffin cups about 2/3 of the way full.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until puffed up and starting to turn golden brown on top. Remove to a rack to cool.
Notes
how to store and freeze muffins
- The cooled muffins can be stored on the counter under a glass dome, or under foil. I don't like to use plastic wrap because it can make muffins soggy.
- These muffins will freeze beautifully: let them cool completely, then wrap in plastic, and again in foil.
