Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and set the bowl aside.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Add the peanut butter and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-fourths full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy these Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins with a glass of milk or your favorite coffee!
