Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

Submitted by Fili Eve

"This is our favourite Peanut Butter muffin recipe, (having tried a few). The balance of flavours is just right, they're not too heavy and very moreish. That said I deliberately make just six at a time! However should you want to bake a full batch this recipe doubles with equal success."

So delicious! I needed to bake mine a bit longer. Thought they were done with a toothpick test, but ended up falling in the center as they started cooling.

These were really good! Not too sweet but just enough, when you want something kinda sweet. You were right about only making six at a time. With a glass of milk, and right out of the oven these dissappeared within hours. Thanks!

I have been making these for my children for 2 years now and they absolutely love them. They beg for them on Saturday mornings! I usually make them with freshly milled flour, and we think they are perfect in both taste and texture. Previously, PB muffins were never my favorite, having tried many recipes and never having been won over--but now I am hooked! These muffins are a staple for my family now. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

These are ok. A little bit dry for my tastes.

Use Jiff PB. Pretty good. They are best when the edges are crunchy so cook them long. Then they taste like a cookie. I didn't use the butter and used 1/2 whole wheat flour for the flour. My kids beg for these. I triple the batch and get 18 regular muffins and 12 mini muffins. They freeze well and thaw in the microwave for a quick breakfast. Enjoy!! Update: I made these with cheap PB and they came out a lot dryer. Make these with Jiff and they turn out wonderful. I didn't think it would matter but the difference is 5 stars vs 2 stars.
