Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the baking soda and salt, then mix until fully combined.
4. Fold the chocolate chips gently into the batter. Stir in chopped peanuts if using.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each nearly to the top.
6. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired for a bakery-style appearance.
7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
9. Serve warm or store for later enjoyment.
Notes
Stir natural peanut butter thoroughly before measuring to prevent oily or uneven batter.
Avoid overbaking the muffins to keep them soft and moist.
Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the pan so they hold their shape properly.
