Description
Delicious peanut butter muffins that are moist and flavorful, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease the muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This creates a uniform dry base for the batter.
- In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, eggs, milk, and honey. Mix until smooth, with a creamy, slightly thick texture and a fragrant peanut aroma.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, then gently fold together with a spoon or whisk until just combined. The batter should be thick but moist, with a few streaks of flour remaining.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Use an ice cream scoop for even portions, and you’ll see the batter settle smoothly into each cup.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. The muffins will rise slightly, turn golden on top, and emit a warm, nutty aroma. Insert a toothpick into the center — it should come out clean when done.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This helps them set and makes removal easier.
- Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. The tops will be slightly crackled and the aroma of roasted peanuts will fill the air.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect on their own or with a smear of butter or jam for extra indulgence.
