Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 0.75 cups crunchy peanut butter
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups crushed peanuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, crunchy peanut butter, and melted butter until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and whisk until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle crushed peanuts over the top of each muffin for added crunch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
