Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a 12-count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with fitted paddle attachment.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, followed by milk. Mix well. Slowly add in flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin tins, filling ¾ full.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F and then turn oven down to 375°F (without opening oven door) and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until muffins are lightly browned on top and toothpick inserted in middle comes out mostly clean. **This will help the muffins to rise high and fluffy**
  • Let cool in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
