Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips Muffin

 
Today's project is to make muffin. First time for me, so I'm very excited!


In the beginning, I wanted to make a classic chocolate muffin. But there's this site, which shows the recipe of peanut butter chocolate chips muffin, with all those pictures that look sooo pretty and sooo yummy. Peanut butter and chocolate chips? Who could resist that! So I decided to go with this recipe. Classic chocolate muffin can wait.


Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup light brown sugar
6 tbsp or 3/4 sticks butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup chocolate chips


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners/bake cup and set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the butter, peanut butter, eggs, and milk.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients with the peanut butter mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop the batter into the 12 muffin cups. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

After getting busy in the kitchen...

Pretty crack on the top, a bit crumby

Moist inside

I'm so happy with the result! The muffin looks so pretty. It's moist inside and a bit crumby on the top. Not too sweet also, just what I like. I really really LOVE this muffin. There's nothing that I would change from the recipe. It's perfect.


The recipe says it makes 12 cups of muffins. It makes 14 cups for me. 

Something to boost the mood while studying for the exam :)
