Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the melted and cooled butter to the peanut butter mixture and mix well. Then add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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 10

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