Why You’ll Love These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

My go-to easy breakfast is peanut butter toast and one of my all-time favorite treats is anything peanut butter and chocolate, so it was a natural choice to make an easy-to-grab peanut butter and chocolate breakfast that I (and my kids!) could enjoy. 

It was no surprise to anyone that these muffins were an instant hit in my house! It doesn’t matter what time of day it is – these muffins are everyone’s go-to snack or dessert. Plus, sometimes when I feel like being a little healthier I replace the white flour with whole wheat and reduce the amount of chocolate chips and brown sugar. Instead, I add some honey for natural sweetness! 

The peanut butter makes these muffins so moist and creamy, and with each bite, you get a burst of chocolate that’ll satisfy your sweet tooth. Let me know how you like them (and how long they last in your house. I’m willing to bet it wasn’t long.)!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins

Step 1: Preheat and Prep 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and grease your muffin tin (or line with 12 muffin liners). Set the tin aside. 

Step 2: Make Batter

In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In a medium bowl, combine the milk, peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture, along with the chocolate chips, until it’s just combined. 

Step 3: Bake and Cool

Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared tin and bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the tin and allow them to cool on a rack.
