Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 heaping cup of chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, creamy peanut butter, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk and Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Using a large cookie or ice cream scoop, fill each cup with the muffin batter up to the top- to create a small dome.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for the first 5 minutes. This initial blast of heat will help create those coveted muffin tops.
  • After 5 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 13-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
  • These muffins can be stored on the counter for 4-5 days, in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Simply thaw them at room temperature or gently reheat them in the microwave for a warm, comforting treat.
