Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Chopped roasted peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter and peanut butter together until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture, and beat until creamy and fluffy.

Step 5

Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Continue to mix until the wet ingredients are fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the optional chopped roasted peanuts for a bit of crunch.

Step 8

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
