Peanut Butter Muffins
Rejoice: they’re not as bad for you as they could be if they tried harder, these suckers.
I used the muffin machine, and got 4 medium-to-large + 1 small muffins out of the batter, baking them for about 14 minutes. But I’m giving you the (doubled) oven recipe version, because really, what crazy person has a muffin machine anyway?
Peanut Butter Muffins Non-stick cooking spray
1 cup (256 g) creamy or crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup (60 g) vanilla soy yogurt or other nondairy yogurt
2/3 cup (128 g) Sucanat
1 cup (235 ml) plain soy or other nondairy milk
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (180 g) whole-wheat pastry or white whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon (14 g) baking powder
2/3 cup (116 g) nondairy semisweet chocolate chipsPreheat oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, yogurt, Sucanat, milk, salt, and extract, until perfectly smooth.
Sift flour, cinnamon, and baking powder on top of the wet ingredients. Fold dry into wet ingredients, being careful not to over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
Divide batter into muffin tin.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes before transferring onto wire rack, to let cool completely before storing.Yield: 12 muffins

PB muffins–one of my favorites! (A great way to get that PB without having to spread anything, no? :) ) Love the addition of chocolate chips, too. And cool new layout and banner!

I think YOU are the muffin machine, and it even rhymes… “Celine the Muffin Machine” :)
Peanut butter and chocolate, does it get any better? Thanks for the recipe, they look too good for words!

these look sooo good! and a tad healthier than the chocolate/peanut butter cupcakes i’ve made to satisfy the craving for that ever alluring combo of deliciousness.

i love your blog’s makeover! it’s so cute. these muffins sound so amazing! peanut butter is pretty much one of the best foods out there. these sound like the kind of muffins that are on the verge of cupcake-ism but aren’t quite there yet. maybe a little chocolate icing? i think so.

I approve. These look wonderful especially due to the small # of ingredients. And they’re not bad for you at all, except for the small amount of added sugar and chocolate chips, but those are clearly necessary.
I bet I could add a mashed banana if I reduced the soymilk by half or so. Banana+PB+Choc in one convenient package is a genius idea. You could probably reduce the sugar in that case too.

Oh yum. These look amazing. (As if I need any excuse to eat more peanut butter.) I really like how the only flour used is whole wheat pastry.

Yum! Just made these with 3/4 cup + 1 T spelt flour plus 1 T cornstarch, and a flax egg. Moist and delicious, even though i overbaked ever so slightly!
Thanks for the great recipe!
