Peanut butter is such a staple for breakfast. But have you ever made peanut butter muffins? These delicious peanut butter pieces have a delicious peanut butter flavor, are not too sweet and can be made extra special by turning them into peanut butter chocolate chip muffins. The chocolate chips are optional, but also necessary (if you ask me).

Because as much as I love peanut butter on toast – sometimes you have to refresh the ante with peanut butter ?

Peanut Butter Muffins Recipe

To be perfectly honest, developing this peanut butter muffin recipe has been a bit difficult. Too often, the muffins in my recipe test have either become too dry or slightly oily. Or somehow, some variations have managed to be dry and oily at the same time.

In the end I decided to do the following:

Tips for moist peanut butter muffins

• Measure the flour carefully. Whisk first, then spoon into a dry measuring cup and level from above. Too much flour and the muffins dry quickly.
• We use oil instead of butter to keep it tender.
• I do not recommend using natural or homemade peanut butter. Sometimes it is too oily, sometimes there is not enough oil.
• The brown sugar not only gives flavor but also more moisture. For a sweeter muffin, use 1 cup of brown sugar instead of 3/4 cup.
• Do not mix the dough. Too much mixing causes muffins to harden. The dough will be thick.
• The baking times can vary, so be careful with your oven.
• Muffins are best if you enjoy them the same day you bake them (preferably almost immediately after they come out of the oven).
