Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter, vegetable oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins remain tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if you prefer a bit of crunch in your muffins.
- Substitute dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk) to make a lactose-free version of these muffins.
- For a bakery-style presentation, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin before baking.
