Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and packed brown sugar until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the peanut butter mixture, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk alternately to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly without deflating the mix.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother batter and better texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk and Greek yogurt with non-dairy alternatives.
- Ensure muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin to avoid breaking.
- These muffins can be stored airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
