Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

This recipe was slightly disappointing to me.  I love peanut butter and I love chocolate so when I discovered this recipe on Pinterest I was super excited to try it.  My muffins didn't look nearly as pretty as hers did and I wonder if part of that is because I didn't let my butter cool all the way it was still slightly warm. I wish that they had more of a peanut butter taste to them too and I felt like some of my chocolate chips got over cooked and had that yucky burnt chocolate flavor.   I may try these again and add more peanut butter and let my butter cool all the way to see if it makes a difference.

I found the recipe here.

Ingredients:

2 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour

2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2/3 Cup Brown Sugar

6 Tablespoons Butter, melted and cooled

1/2 Cup Chunky Peanut Butter (you can use smooth, that's fine)

2 Eggs

1 Cup Milk

3/4 Cup Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

 

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, peanut butter, eggs, and milk until smooth. (if the peanut butter is in clumps within the liquid that is fine, it will all work out in the end) Pour liquid mixture into flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. In a paper lined muffin tin, scoop 3 tablespoon size scoops into each muffin cup (I used my cookie scoop). Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
