Kitchen Equipment

3. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and then add the peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
4. Add the peanut butter mixture to the dry ingredients, followed by the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips

• For an extra peanut butter punch, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
• Toss the chocolate chips in a small amount of flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Variations

• Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for added crunch.
• Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled muffins for an extra chocolatey touch.
