Ingredients
- 220g all-purpose flour
- 35g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8g baking powder
- 1g baking soda
- 2.5g kosher salt
- 100g granulated sugar
- 80g brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 75g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 180g whole milk
- 5g vanilla extract
- 120g creamy peanut butter
- 90g semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Warm the peanut butter briefly if needed so it is easy to drizzle. Spoon a small amount onto each muffin and swirl lightly into the top with a toothpick or knife.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops spring back lightly and a toothpick inserted into the muffin portion comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move muffins to a wire rack.
