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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Golden Peanut Butter Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
