Chocolate peanut butter mini muffin recipe:
chocolate peanut butter mini muffins
Ingredients
- 24-cup mini muffin tin
- cooking spray
- 6 tbsps unsalted butter softened to room temp
- ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temp
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened baking cocoa
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- flaky salt sea for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large bowl with a hand mixer), beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until smooth and well incorporated, about 1-2 minutes on speed medium. Next, mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Finally, add in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and kosher salt then mix until well combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop, fill all 24 mini muffin cups with the batter (each hole will be filled to top). Sprinkle 3-4 chocolate chips on top of each muffin batter then sprinkle flaky sea salt over top of all of the mini muffins.
- Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of one muffin comes out clean, about 13-15 minutes.
- Allow to cool before enjoying as the chocolate chips on top of mini muffins will be quite gooey. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days 🙂
