Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins — perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying afternoon snack.
Who doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate?
This recipe originally appeared on Dinners, Dishes and Desserts, and we followed their directions with great results. Peanut butter adds a boost of protein, making these muffins feel a little more like a wholesome breakfast option.
At first, we were surprised — these muffins are not as sweet as a cupcake. That’s because they’re muffins, not cupcakes. Once we remembered that, they tasted wonderful. Warmed briefly in the microwave with a pat of butter, they become irresistible.
