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
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Buttermilk
• 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, and melted butter. Use a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. This will act as the fudge filling.

Step 7

Spoon about 1.5 tablespoons of the muffin batter into each prepared muffin cup, spreading it to cover the bottom.

Step 8

Add a heaping teaspoon of the chocolate fudge mixture in the center of each muffin cup, then cover with another tablespoon of muffin batter. Make sure the chocolate is fully covered.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the edge (not the center, since the fudge will remain gooey) comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Enjoy your rich fudge-filled peanut butter muffins slightly warm or at room temperature!
